About

The article describes how experts from various fields came together to create guidelines for helping children during disasters or terrorism. They looked at existing data and used a special process to agree on the best ways to prepare and respond. These guidelines focus on children's needs in situations involving chemical, biological, or radiological threats. It is the first national set of standards based on evidence for preparing children for such emergencies. The goal is to ensure that kids are safe and well-cared-for during these challenging times.
