Most human cultures see the care for children as one of the highest values. As children have distinctive biological, physiological, psychological, and developmental attributes, it is crucial that pediatric needs are incorporated into every facet of disaster, mass casualties, and preparedness planning. Furthermore, emergency responders, medical professionals, and health care entities may not always have adequate pediatric-adjusted resources, training, equipment, or facilities available, and therefore preparedness must include the ability to provide the special expertise and training that ensure optimal care of children.1
