About

This template helps regions prepare for disasters that affect children. It describes how to assess different hazards, like natural disasters or human-caused events, and their impact on kids. The tool measures the likelihood of these events and how ready a community is to handle them. It includes scores for hazard impact and preparedness, focusing on areas like healthcare systems and family reunification. The template encourages teamwork among hospitals, emergency services, and government agencies to improve disaster response for children over time.
