The National TA Center at UACF has released a set of resources to help communities dealing with disasters. Families, and especially children, can experience serious emotional trauma as they prepare for, and then deal with the aftermath of, a hurricane or other disaster. This trauma can even extend to children who are not affected by the disaster, but have seen extensive media coverage on it. The following links are just a few of the available resources:

After the Disaster: A Children’s Mental Health Checklist
Emergencies, Mental Health, and Traumatic Stress
