About

Children, comprising 25% of the US population, are highly susceptible to disaster impacts. Federal programs and advisory boards have significantly improved disaster response for children and families. These initiatives enhance preparedness by sharing best practices, addressing gaps, and guiding future investments. This collective effort expands disaster science, ensuring better support for children and families in times of crisis.
