About

The article is about how prepared families are for disasters, especially those with children who have heart conditions or special healthcare needs. It describes a study where caregivers filled out surveys on their disaster readiness. Results showed that many families were not fully prepared, but most wanted more information and resources to improve. Only 27.8% had received preparedness resources before, but 93% planned to discuss it after the survey. The study highlights the need for pediatric cardiologists to provide tailored disaster preparedness advice and resources to these families.
