Pediatric Disaster Preparedness Resources
Preparedness Resources
for Healthcare Facilities - CDC - February 2009
CDC has created a new webpage that provides all-hazards resources intended for
individuals at healthcare facilities tasked with ensuring that their facility is
as prepared as possible for an emergency. The healthcare facilities targeted by
this page include hospitals, long-term acute and chronic care facilities, outpatient
clinics and urgent care facilities, physicians' offices, and pediatric offices and
hospitals.

as an outstanding resource for all hospitals to deal with children in the event
of a disaster.
