Family Reunification

Kathleen Stevenson - Nursing Management of Pediatric Disaster

Abstract

Reunification of families after a large disaster can be a major concern if strategies to mitigate the issues have not been incorporated into local, regional, state, tribal, and federal planning for such an event. Health care organizations must plan for processes for accepting unaccompanied minors, ensuring the safety of these minors, and reuniting them with their families.
