Abstract

When considering vulnerable populations, or those with the most cascading obstacles that cause them to be susceptible to certain hazards and events, children are among the most vulnerable. Those living in poverty or in marginalized communities are among the most vulnerable to disasters. They make up a quarter of the United States' and a third of the global population, yet there is not an emergency management framework that meets their needs. While there are principles and a number of tools and programs directed at children- and more generally, youth- they suffer a lack of widespread socialization. This article offers a framework as an option to create that socialization as well as a child-centered approach that can be operationalized.
