Preparedness, Response and Recovery Considerations for Children and
Families is the summary of a workshop convened in June, 2013 by the
Institute of Medicine Forum on Medical and Public Health
Preparedness for Catastrophic Events to discuss disaster
preparedness, response, and resilience relative to the needs of
children and families, including children with special health care
needs. Traditional and non-traditional medical and public health
stakeholders from across federal, state, and local government
health care coalitions, community organizations, school districts,
child care providers, hospitals, private health care providers,
insurers, academia, and other partners in municipal planning met to
review existing tools and frameworks that can be modified to
include children's needs; identify child-serving partners and
organizations that can be leveraged in planning to improve outcomes
for children; highlight best practices in resilience and recovery
strategies for children; and raise awareness of the need to
integrate children's considerations throughout local and state
emergency plans. Communities across the United States face the
threat of emergencies and disasters almost every day, natural and
man-made, urban and rural, large and small. Although children
represent nearly 25 percent of the U.S. population, current state
and local disaster preparedness plans often do not include specific
considerations for children and families. The preparedness and
resilience of communities related to children will require a
systems framework for disaster preparedness across traditional and
non-traditional medical and public health stakeholders, including
community organizations, schools, and other partners in municipal
planning. This report examines resilience strategies that lead to
successful recovery in children after a disaster and discusses
current approaches and interventions to improve recovery in
children.
