Managing Children in Disasters: Planning for Their Unique Needs

By George D. Haddow, Jane A. Bullock, Damon P. Coppola, et al.

Written by seasoned FEMA professionals who developed a training course on managing children's needs in disasters, this reference is a first-of-its-kind publication exploring the management of the care of children during disasters. It takes a cross-disciplinary approach, addressing family structure, housing, schooling, family, mental health, and psycho-social issues. This book identifies the unique needs of children in disasters, examines the infrastructure that supports children in their daily lives, and explains how all involved parties can better prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from future disasters. Case studies clarifying concepts are included.
