Resources for parents/families to discuss disasters with children

  • CYFD Behavioral Health: https://cyfd.org/behavioral-health

  • Include children in planning for an emergency. Teach them how to get help and what to do in different situations. Practice your household disaster plan with your children and quiz them about preparedness information. Attached link provides information of what every child should know in the event of a disaster, provide guidance to parents of important knowledge regarding children’s schools and daycares regarding emergency plans and other important information to help prepare for disasters/emergency evacuations.  https://www1.nyc.gov/site/em/ready/kids.page

 

  • The Child Welfare Services and Disaster Planning and Response Unit (DPRU) was created in 2021 and falls under the Children’s Services Quality Management Branch (CSQMB) and collaborates with the 58 counties to establish an effective process for creating, activating, and operating in an emergency and disaster preparedness plan as it relates to Children. Link attached will provide four emergency management phases: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/em/ready/kids.page

 

 

  • The link below will provide resources to assist in creating disaster preparedness plans and responding to emergencies quickly and effectively to protect children and families and help them recover, Disaster preparedness to meet children’s needs, coping with disasters and more. https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/management/disaster-preparedness/

 

  • Emergency planning with children. “Children are positive influencers, can become leaders and can be confident during an emergency”. Youth preparedness and including youth in emergency management is an essential part of engaging the whole community. The link below will provide additional information from FEMA regarding Emergency planning with children. https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/individuals-communities/children

 

  • Resource Guide for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs: This booklet is intended for both professionals working with families who have a child with special needs and for families/parents/caregivers who are raising a child with special needs. https://www.nmhealth.org/publication/view/guide/4582/

 

 

 

  • For more specific materials that can be downloaded or printed, look to ACF Office of Trafficking in Persons or the DHS Blue Campaign. Both sets of resources are available in several languages, and are very detailed with concrete actions community members and social service providers (for example) can take if they suspect someone is being trafficked or are concerned about trafficking in persons.
