Pediatric specific planning considerations include mass sheltering, pediatric-triage, reunification planning and pediatric decontamination considerations.

functional access needs of the pediatric population in a disaster event.
-Describe relevant mass sheltering considerations when planning for the care and management
of the pediatric population following a disaster event.

the pediatric population.
