This virtual exercise was held to improve pediatric disaster care. It included lectures, panel discussions, and breakout sessions focused on COVID-19, MIS-C updates, and planning for winter virus season. Participants were from hospitals, health departments, and emergency services in Michigan and Ohio. The exercise aimed to enhance preparedness through training and coordination among healthcare professionals. An After Action Report highlighted strengths like educational presentations but noted areas needing improvement such as time management during sessions.
