Also, children spend most of their waking hours away from their parents in school. Schools, therefore, must assure that children have appropriate care and proper interventions in a public health emergency. Hospital and school disaster response plans should account for children as a priority population. To showcase resources that can support emergency preparedness planning for children, AHRQ will host a Webcast, Planning and Preparedness for Children’s Needs in Public Health Emergencies. This event will feature a panel discussion of preparedness initiatives and insights from pediatric emergency preparedness planners. During the Webcast, participants will learn about some of AHRQ’s resources for emergency preparedness involving children, including: * School-Based Emergency Preparedness: A National Analysis and Recommended Protocol.
