“…At this age, children are also more interested in trying new things (Wong, Eaton, Wilson, Winkelstein, & Schwartz, 2009). Another study mentioned that children's knowledge of disasterpreparedness increased using a virtual tabletop exercise method (So et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: Tsunami in Indonesia become a threat to society, especially for vulnerable groups. Primary school students are one of the vulnerable groups that should have adequate preparedness both in their knowledge and attitudes in facing the tsunami. To support the preparedness, a tabletop tsunami simulator has been developed. Objective: To describe the tsunami preparedness of school-age children and to assess the impact of the tabletop tsunami simulator on the knowledge and attitudes of school children towards tsunamis. Methods: The study design was a one group pre-test – post-test design with a total participant of 157 students. The research instrument used was a tabletop tsunami simulator and a questionnaire to assess knowledge and attitude towards tsunamis. The statistical test used was the Mann Whitney test. The inclusion criteria included primary school 5th and 6th grade students, had a smartphone, and were willing to be participants. The data was collected using Google form and had obtained ethical approval number 62/SDS/KEPK/TL/VI/2020. Result: The Mann Whitney test showed a significant effect between the tabletop tsunami simulator and the participants’ knowledge of tsunamis with a p-value of 0.000 (p-value <0.05). In the attitude variable, an increase in the attitude score between the pre-test and post-test was also observed. The average attitude score increased from 32.99 to 34.97, with a p-value = 0.000. Conclusion: There is a significant effect between the tabletop tsunami simulator with the participants’ knowledge and attitudes in facing the threat of a tsunami.

“…In addition to using available guidance and tools, preparedness activities that bring together clinical teams that have few opportunities for day-to-day interaction can create a foundation that may facilitate smooth handoffs during emergency response. 14,15 Strategy 1.2: Adapt existing tools: adapting existing clinical tools enables more efficient collection of critical information compared with developing new tools. Clinical tools, such as those developed by CDC and partners to collect information about the maternal-infant dyad affected by Zika virus, provide a model for collecting and aligning critical information (►Table 1) across multiple tools.…”

A Framework for Coordination between Obstetric and Pediatric Providers in Public Health Emergencies: Lessons Learned from the Zika Outbreak in the United States, 2015 to 2017

Emergency response to emerging threats with the potential for vertical transmission, such as the 2015 to 2017 response to Zika virus, presents unique clinical challenges that underscore the need for better communication and care coordination between obstetric and pediatric providers to promote optimal health for women and infants. Published guidelines for routine maternal-infant care during the perinatal period, and models for transitions of care in various health care settings are available, but no broad framework has addressed coordinated multidisciplinary care of the maternal-infant dyad during emergency response. We present a novel framework and strategies to improve care coordination and communication during an emergency response. The proposed framework includes (1) identification and collection of critical information to inform care, (2) key health care touchpoints for the maternal-infant dyad, and (3) primary pathways of communication and modes of transfer across touchpoints, as well as practical strategies. This framework and associated strategies can be modified to address the care coordination needs of pregnant women and their infants with possible exposure to other emerging infectious and noninfectious congenital threats that may require long-term, multidisciplinary management.

Chemical-Biological Terrorism and Its Impact on Children

Chemical and biological events (including infectious disease outbreaks) may affect children disproportionately, and the threat of a chemical or biological attack remains in the United States and worldwide. Although federal programs and funding support a broad range of federal initiatives for public health preparedness and response, funding at the state and local levels has been flat or is decreasing, potentially leaving communities vulnerable. Consequently, pediatricians need to prepare and be ready to care for children in their communities before, during, and after a chemical or biological event, including during long-term recovery. Some medical countermeasures for particular chemical and biological agents have not been adequately studied or approved for children. The American Academy of Pediatrics provides resources and education on disaster preparedness and response, including information on the pediatrician' s role in disasters, pediatric medical countermeasures, and mental health after an event as well as individual and family preparedness. This policy statement addresses the steps that clinicians and policy makers can take to protect children and mitigate the effects of a chemical or biological attack.
