Disaster Planning for Children and Families Lou Romig MD, FAAP, FACEP Miami Children’s Hospital FL-5 DMAT

Best practices?  We’re getting practice  We’ve got little data  Every practice setting is different Just like kids, no plan or policy fits all.

Getting a grip  The 9-11 attacks, Katrina and the threat of pandemic flu have skewed our planning processes  The basics must be tackled first and addressed with solid plans.

family For children, there’s nothing more basic than family.

You don’t need a distinct Pediatric Plan if you… Empower and support Families Families

Family Issues  Every day can be a disaster Ú Strengthen critical community infrastructure to meet the daily needs of children and their caregivers

Family Issues  The family is the strongest unit of survival Ú Personal identification On each person Family records Centralized records (photos, fingerprints, DNA)

Family Issues  The family is the strongest unit of survival Ú Family identification Begin data collection and identification at the time of first contact with the response system Develop family identifiers (photos, unique numbers, barcodes)

Family Issues  The family is the strongest unit of survival Ú Keep families together Shelter families together Evacuate families together Take the time to do it right Optimize existing resources to assist with record-keeping and planning

Family Issues  The family is the strongest unit of survival Ú Reunification in family planning School and workplace plans Rendezvous points Communication plans Identifying materials as a part of evacuation supplies

Family Issues  The family is the strongest unit of survival Ú Reunification planning by agencies Assist with integration of documentation systems across agencies Support appropriate identification record programs Work with reunification agencies and programs before a disaster occurs

Family Issues  Family disaster preparedness isn’t cheap Ú Encourage preparedness incentives Insurance discounts Tax-free days, tax credits(?) Ú Expand funding programs to help pay for supplies/equipment Medications/Medical goods Food/formula Batteries, flashlights, etc Ú Community service projects addressing family preparedness

Family Issues  Family-safe shelters Ú Healthy environment Smoke free Drug/alcohol free Ú Safety and security “Child-proofing” Supervision Exit/internal security Ability to isolate children from disturbing situations

Family Issues  Family-functional shelters Ú Information center Ú Recovery resources available Ú Access to communication resources Ú Access to medical care/resources Ú Child care/supervision Organize shelter occupants to assist Utilize community child care workers Utilize community mental health/child life resources for therapeutic play and psychological guidance for families

Family Issues  Psychology: Strength vs. scarring Ú A culture of disaster preparedness Ú Make disaster preparedness a part of the way we bring up our children “Duck and cover”

Information about pediatric disaster psychology is abundant. Pediatric mental health programs are not.

Family Issues  Psychology: Strength vs. scarring Ú Parents/caregivers Ú School personnel Ú Primary medical care providers Ú Disaster responders Advocate for stronger mental health systems.

Pediatric and Family Disaster Planning Resources  Experienced parents  Family representatives Ú School-based parent groups Ú Parents of children with disabilities and special medical/psychological needs  Primary care medical practitioners and professional organizations  Mental health professionals  State EMS for Children programs
