About

This article presents a toolkit geared toward pediatric COVID-19 preparedness in India, which was inspired by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's 2006 pediatric disaster tool kit. The design is set for specific department variables but may be modified for other department sizes based on facility planning objectives. Included is a chapter dedicated to the psychosocial needs of children during a disaster.
