About

This report outlines the efforts of the National Advisory Committee on Children and Disasters (NACCD) to address the unique needs of children during emergencies. Established under the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act, the NACCD aims to improve pediatric disaster training, enhance public awareness, and promote effective response strategies. Key findings highlight the necessity of integrated training, specialized education for responders, and priority areas such as family reunification and care for children with disabilities. The report recommends initiatives like public education campaigns and exercises for HPP grantees to enhance preparedness and response capabilities, ensuring better outcomes for children during and after disasters.
