About

This webpage describes a plan to improve how communities prepare for disasters involving children. It highlights that kids are often overlooked in emergency plans, even though they make up a large part of the population. The plan suggests using available training materials better and creating partnerships to share information. It emphasizes understanding social factors affecting children, assessing risks specific to them, and including them in all disaster stages. The goal is to create flexible training methods that everyone can access easily, ensuring children's needs are considered during emergencies.
