The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is convening a virtual public workshop focused on the needs of children and youth in disasters. The aims of this workshop are to explore promising practices, ongoing challenges and potential opportunities, since Hurricane Katrina, in the coordinated delivery of human and social services service programs following federally declared major natural disasters.
In support of this activity, the Academies commissioned a research paper on the current environment for the coordinated delivery of post-disaster human services, and the landscape of research focused on service delivery for vulnerable populations. The commissioned paper is available here.
