About

This one-page sheet provides information on Gulf 7 Pediatric Disaster Network's efforts to improve pediatric disaster preparedness and response in the United States Gulf Coast region. States/territories include Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Puerto Rico. Initiatives involve courses for the healthcare professional, trainings for school-based clinicians and counselors, and disaster exercises for hospitals. Only about half of U.S. hospitals have plans that include pediatric patients or those with special health care needs, so G7 aims to improve readiness everywhere in its region.
