This research aimed to assess pediatric disaster preparedness resources in the United States (US), categorizing them into hospital, school, and training resources. Evaluations based on content, format, and quality showed that half of the top 50 resources were of high quality (grade A), while others were rated B or C. Most resources lacked cultural sensitivity and information for children with disabilities. There is a need for more development in these areas to improve pediatric disaster preparedness.
