The National Commission on Children and Disasters has released its 2010 report assessing children’s needs in relation to the preparation for, response to, and recovery from, all hazards.
The report makes findings and recommendations on: child physical health, mental health, and trauma; child care and child welfare; elementary and secondary education; sheltering, temporary housing, and affordable housing; transportation; juvenile justice; evacuation; and relevant activities in emergency management.
The independent, bipartisan commission is charged with identifying gaps in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for children and making recommendations to close them.
