About

This topical collection aims to equip pediatricians, planners, responders, care providers, and volunteers with the knowledge and guidance necessary to address the unique needs of children during crises and disasters. Children's anatomic, physiologic, immunologic, developmental, and psychological characteristics influence their vulnerability and response in disaster situations. The collection emphasizes the importance of meeting children's medical and psychological needs during and after disasters.
