Flooding in Jambi in 2019 was quite high, according to BNPB. However, from 2018 to 2020, flooding in Merangin Regency experienced ups and downs. According to data from the Nalo Tantan District Health Center, there are 1,058 parents, 281 pregnant women and 522 children under five who are included in the vulnerable group. By preparing and preventing flood disasters, the risk and consequences of flood disasters that often occur in Nalo Tantan District can be reduced. The aim of this research is to look at mapping areas that may be affected by flooding. The ecological study design method used by researchers is a spatial approach assisted by a geographic information system computer program. The results using spatial analysis showed that the highest distribution of vulnerable groups including children under five, pregnant women and the elderly in Nalo Tantan District was in Sungai Ulak village and the lowest number was in Telun village. There is a distribution of the number of vulnerable groups in Nalo Tantan District spread across several villages in large numbers. It is hoped that health workers will be more responsive and skilled in dealing with vulnerable groups, especially in villages with the largest number of vulnerable groups.
