Almost half of them were children. This study describes the healthcare needs of all evacuee children referred for urgent or emergent care in two large health systems in the months following the evacuation, highlighting important considerations for emergency response in pediatric evacuee populations.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of all Afghan evacuee children referred for care at an urban quaternary care children's hospital and an affiliated community hospital system between August 2021 and February 2022. Both were located near a military base that served as a temporary residential facility for evacuees immediately after their arrival in the US. Data were abstracted into a secure online database, and descriptive statistics were examined to identify trends in health status, diagnoses, and utilization.Results: We identified 477 children and 681 individual encounters. Fifty-two children (10.9 percent) were medically complex and accounted for 30.1 percent of all visits. The most common diagnoses were traumatic injuries (93, 13.7 percent), respiratory -illnesses (70, 10.3 percent), and complex chronic diseases (53, 7.8 percent). Proper patient identification, language access, and cultural engagement were key challenges.Conclusion: Emergency response teams should be prepared to encounter a diverse range of common and increasingly complex pediatric health needs in disasters. Strategies such as employing cultural liaisons, expanding the availability of language services, and issuing standardized identification documents should be implemented.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 2","pages":"277-285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143788988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"School disaster preparedness for children with access and functional needs.","authors":"Mackenzie T Sharp, Phyllis Tan, Rita V Burke","doi":"10.5055/jem.0913","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5055/jem.0913","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: In California, as of 2024, there were 820,922 reported children with access and functional needs (CAFN) between the ages of 3 and 18. Concurrently, a noticeable increase in diagnoses points to the rise in CAFN prevalence, which has surged from 7.4 percent to over 8.6 percent in the last 3 years. This reveals the urgency behind scaling up disaster management planning and response for CAFN so that our emergency response remains proportional to the population's needs. Simultaneously, the exacerbation of climate change and inequality has amplified the dangers posed by disasters, particularly among those with intersecting identities. Therefore, it is crucial to proactively address the nuanced and context-specific requirements of CAFN in emergency settings.Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using interview data collected from teaching staff at a local high school. The feedback was organized into codes using Atlas.ti and was subsequently used to develop policy recommendations.Results: Our results concluded that while there are a variety of disaster mitigation strategies currently enacted in schools to protect disabled children, these alone are insufficient. Our analysis has identified specific gaps (relating to systems, mental health preparedness, and awareness) in existing policies and protocols. While CAFN teaching staff are motivated to serve their students, many cited concerns about the post-Covid pandemic educational landscape and noted increasing pressure, stemming in part from the identified gaps.Discussion: As we recover from the pandemic, we now know more extensive policy is required to support CAFN students to prepare for both short- and long-term disasters that threaten academic success, emotional well-being, and safety. Policy recommendations have been generated to guide emerging policy toward promoting a more equitable educational landscape for CAFN students.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 2","pages":"313-326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research emphasizes the critical roles of environmental cues and technology in alerting PEH to potential hazards. Environmental indicators, such as changes in the sky, wind patterns, and animal behavior, are commonly relied upon, although they can delay protective actions. Mobile phones serve as essential tools for accessing vital information, despite challenges related to affordability and charging access. The study also highlights the importance of trusted community members in disseminating information through informal networks. Using Lindell and Perry's Protective Action Decision Model as a framework, this qualitative study examines the lived experiences of 41 unsheltered PEH. Key findings underscore the need for tailored communication strategies, integrating services and information into emergency plans, and establishing local government dashboards to enhance disaster preparedness and resilience among PEH. The study provides actionable recommendations for emergency management to better support this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 2","pages":"137-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact on vulnerable communities has been profound and worsened living conditions for those without proper housing, a steady job, or decent pay. Those most affected by the pandemic were women, children, older adults, immigrants, and the socioeconomically disadvantaged who belonged to non-White socio-cultural groups. The literature provides strong evidence that those who identified as Black, Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander, and Asian suffered the most, especially, during the early years of the pandemic. Using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention weekly data, this study examines standardized coefficients in a path analysis model to determine the relationships between socio-cultural identity, age, time period, and region with pandemic-related deaths. The regression model used in this study confirmed the relationship between socio-cultural identity and COVID-19 deaths. The results convey the value of strengthening the social element in risk reduction and emergency preparedness strategies to reduce public health disruptions affecting vulnerable communities during future emergencies.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 2","pages":"265-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing a decentralized web-based platform to mobilize healthy food options in disaster-affected neighborhoods, designed to use real-time crowdsourced information, can help identify vulnerable populations and prioritize areas in need. A survey was administered using constructs from the Health Belief Model and Technology Accessibility Model, engaging Hillsborough County residents in the design thinking process to gauge community acceptance of a technology-based intervention during a large-scale disaster. Identifying barriers, wants, and needs of various population segments allows for more inclusive strategies for developing emergency management interventions. Results from the community survey validated the high likelihood of technology acceptance during disasters, with 90.9 percent of the respondents indicating that they would likely use a web-based food delivery service during disasters. Respondents had high levels of perceived self-efficacy and perceived ease of use with moderate levels of perceived usefulness and perceived threats. A majority of respondents (81.4 percent) agree that technology helps connect them to their community, with 83.6 percent agreeing that the internet would be useful for helping their community and 70.2 percent indicating they would feel comfortable ordering groceries online during a disaster. Whereas Hispanic survey respondents had higher levels of perceived threats; however, due to their perceived barriers were less likely to use the platform. By incorporating evidence-informed disaster management practices in the planning process, local governmental and nongovernmental organizations can develop more comprehensive plans and interventions to help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 2","pages":"235-251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143788893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
