The Human Services Work Group (HSWG) identified gaps and opportunities through expert consultations and literature reviews. The report emphasizes the importance of coordinated efforts across federal, state, and local levels and recommends policies, funding, and research to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, ensuring rapid and equitable support for children and their families.
