This video playlist and resources are from a workshop that focused on children and youth in disasters. The workshop aimed to discuss best practices, challenges, and opportunities in delivering services after major natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. The goal is to improve coordination in disaster response and transition back to normal service delivery programs by state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) and public health agencies, as well as human and social services.
