In collaboration with decision-makers, agency representatives, and other recognized experts in the field we developed an after-action reporting tool to better gauge the effectiveness of disaster response. The final tool will be able to describe the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact of a disaster response.

We have faculty members who have been selected to participate on a pediatric-specific disaster response team. This collaborative effort between the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions and the National Disaster Medical System is being developed to deliver clinical care to pediatric patients during declared disasters both in the US and internationally. Through hospital support, we provided patient care in Pisco, Peru after the earthquake in 2007.
