Researchers studying children in disaster will soon find a unique resource at the Natural Hazards Center. The Natural Hazards Center Library has received a $5,000 Carnegie-Whitney Grant to create Children of the Storm, an annotated bibliography and associated database of resources related to children and disaster.
This project is an attempt to critically review and highlight best practices pertaining to children in disaster. The ultimate goal of Children of the Storm is to produce a comprehensive database and physical section of the Natural Hazards Center Library that will be publicized and presented at the 2010 Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop in Broomfield, Colorado, in July.
