About

This report describes efforts to improve disaster preparedness for children in Ohio and Michigan. It highlights the need for including children's needs in emergency plans, as they are often overlooked. The workgroup created tools like surveys, databases, and templates to help hospitals and regions plan better for disasters affecting kids. They also made infographics to raise awareness about these issues. Recommendations include creating a database with information on how disasters impact children and expanding current planning tools to consider pediatric needs more thoroughly. The goal is to ensure that emergency plans adequately protect children during disasters.
