Comprehensive Pediatric Data can be challenging to find when conducting hazard vulnerability assessments, and there are key resources that every emergency planner and disaster preparedness effort can leverage. You can find a quick hit list on our website https://npdcoalition.org/resources/healthcare-ems/ and scroll down to Pediatric Data for Emergency Planning.

When planning, it is essential to know demographics and well-being information about the children in your community. NPDC encourages all emergency planners to use the Region V for Kids Hazard Vulnerability Tools to improve regional health care coalition and jurisdictional efforts to meet the needs in a disaster!
