• Have changes in behavior (more irritability, temper
tantrums, crying)
• Become more clingy or withdrawn
• Regress in skills

Emergencies can happen when family members are not all together in one place. Children may be at school or daycare, parents may be at work and grandparents may be visiting friends. It is important to think about how you will all get back together in an emergency. 🧸

Mental stress from a disaster can be harder on children. Children are more vulnerable in emergencies: Because they breathe in more air for their size than adults, children absorb harmful materials from the air more readily. 🧸

Because they spend more time outside, are lower to the ground, and put their hands in their mouths more often than do adults. Because they may not be able to communicate their symptoms or feelings.

Because they need medicines, and specifically designed equipment for emergency situations that are different from adults. Children are more vulnerable in emergencies because of their physical, developmental, behavioral, and emotional differences from adults.

Children may have difficulty or may not be able to communicate symptoms or feelings. They may understand less about the situation and feel less able to control the events around them.
