    About

    This case-based module equips pediatricians with essential strategies to prepare for, respond to, and assist in the recovery of disasters affecting children. By understanding the unique vulnerabilities of pediatric patients, healthcare professionals can play a critical role in mitigating risks and improving outcomes during crises.

    Why Prepare for Pediatric Disaster Response?
    Children face heightened physical, mental, and emotional risks during disasters, as seen in the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While pediatricians are natural advocates for child health, many lack formal training on disaster preparedness and response. This module provides the necessary tools to prepare families, reduce adverse outcomes, and support recovery efforts.

    * Respond effectively to a pediatric hospital search event
    * Manage a pediatric clinic shutdown due to weather
    * Apply best practices for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery
    * Access additional resources to deepen knowledge on pediatric disaster advocacy
