This 61-page report from the National Advisory Committee on Children and Disasters' Healthcare Preparedness Working Group focuses on three key areas directly tied to the nation's readiness to care for children affected by disasters: coalition building, workforce development, and medical countermeasure readiness. It assesses the current state and gaps, and provides potential mitigation strategies as recommendations. These recommendations will serve as fuel for the ongoing national efforts between federal and nonfederal groups to work collaboratively to increase the nation's readiness to care for children in times of disaster.
