Disaster Preparedness: Meeting the Needs of Children

Children in communities throughout the United States have been increasingly affected by natural disasters and disasters of human origin. During a 3-month period in 2017, the pediatric population was affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana; Hurricane Irma in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina; and the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Uncontrolled wildfires in both Northern and Southern California devastated families and communities. Mass casualty shootings at a concert in Las Vegas, Nevada, and a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, coincided with or quickly followed these disasters.
