Scheduled Caste and Tribe people who live in low-lying areas, hillsides, and coastal regions are highly vulnerable during disasters due to lack of adequate housing, information, and access to shelter with other castes. Women, children, elderly, and disabled individuals face increased risks of health issues, violence, neglect, and difficulty evacuating or accessing relief when disasters strike due to their marginalized status. People with disabilities have additional challenges in receiving warnings, evacuating to safety, and accessing compensation after losing their homes, families, and security.
