Today we discussed more on the Community Profile exercise as part of a vulnerability assessment. The importance of using a geographic information system becomes apparent as you bring many data layers to help quantify vulnerabilities across your area. We also discussed concepts of the precautionary principle in decision making. The last part of the class we started a discussion on the human health vulnerabilities of our water system.
