I’d go with the 2nd 1, it seems easier to get your teeth into. The authority I’d go with would be a local authority, since they cover a lot of the emergency preparedness measures, but thats from a UK perspective, go with whichever you know most about.
You’ll need to decide which groups are the most ulnerable ones, and this will depend on which region you’re investigating. Generally the very young, very old, pregnant an ill people fall into this category. Work out what disasters are most likely to occur in the region you’re looking at, eg a volcano which will cause ash to give respiratory problems / floods / tornado / earthquake. For each scenario you’ll need to to a plan for each vulnerable group, for each disaster, and make them specific to that group, eg recognise that older people will be more suseptable to breathing problems from ash / tephra than others due to their frailty.
Perhaps if youre trying to communicate a risk and a plan to follow to the public, make some acronyms that make the rules easy to follow – eg ‘stop drop and roll’, although not an acronym, is something everyone knows to do should they catch fire. If the plans are aimed at the police in actions they should take in the care of the vulnerable however, you can afford to make them more scientific, in not such a ‘cuddly’ packaging.
The manual could include ‘emergency cards’, whereby theres a file in every police office on landslides, floods, hurricanes, etc, and within each file are flash cards of what actions they should take in each scenario, so that the info is on hand and they dont have to read through pages of notes before they find the key issues and plans they need.
It cut off the end of your Q so cant say much for that bit ^^
*EDIT*: to the 3rd response: I’d do it in bullet points and headings rather than paragraphs in an essay style, since it’ll be easier to set out, and more accessible to in a disaster. Arranging it by disaster type then having vulnerable groups as a sub section may work better for you, since it would then be an easy reference in each circumstance to see what could be done in that occurence, rather than having to flick through each vulnerable group to find out what to do in the case of, say, a volcano. Make much sense?
