About

The Disaster Response Template Toolkit by SAMHSA helps managers and staff in disaster behavioral health programs. It describes how to create resources for people affected by disasters, including printed materials like brochures and flyers, as well as digital content for websites and social media. The toolkit offers templates that can be customized for different communities. It also provides tips on helping children cope with stress after a disaster, managing stress during holidays, and recognizing signs of distress in survivors. The toolkit aims to support recovery through education, outreach, and community engagement strategies.
