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.

As the nation begins to invest in high-speed broadband build-out, it is crucial that that investment include public libraries.” GrantsMonday, May 11th, 2009CVS Caremark Charitable Trust Offers Grants to Help Children With Disabilities and the Uninsured Youth Service America Announces New Awards Program for Young Female Social Entrepreneurs Disney Minnie Grants Available to Fund Children’s Community Improvement Efforts Community Health Non Profit PublicationsMonday, May 11th, 2009Hesperian (http://hesperian.org/ And in Spanish http://espanol.hesperian.org/) is a non-profit publisher of books and newsletters for community-based health care.
