About

This webinar focuses on family reunification after disasters. It describes the challenges of reuniting children with their families when they get separated during emergencies. Hospitals need plans to track and care for unaccompanied children. The speakers share tools and resources to help hospitals prepare for these situations, including setting up safe areas for kids and assistance centers for families. They also discuss the importance of working with community partners like schools and legal authorities to ensure children's safety during such events.
