About

This document is about planning for a sudden increase in sick children at hospitals. It describes how Rady Children's Hospital, with San Diego County, prepared a guide to help other hospitals handle emergencies involving many kids. The plan includes training staff, having the right supplies and equipment, and setting up safe areas for children. It also covers dealing with different types of disasters like chemical or biological attacks and keeping kids calm during emergencies. Hospitals should practice these plans regularly to be ready when needed.
