This Working Group intends to model population vulnerability and system-level inoperability in the context of COVID-19. The group will explore how infrastructure systems and processes, along with socio-economic and political mechanisms and institutions, influence individual and collective outcomes from pandemic events. Ultimately, this work aims to inform strategies to mitigate against future events and to provide guidance on optimal approaches for response and recovery.
