Why emergency plans abandon vulnerable populations

I am an emergency planner and I spend my time creating evacuation routes and shelter plans for a city where thirty percent of people do not have cars and most of our shelters are not wheelchair accessible but no one wants to fund real accessibility so I am planning to fail the people who need help most.
