Description

A study of state child welfare disaster planning. This report found that: (1) 20 states & the Dist. of Columbia reported that they had a written child welfare disaster plan. However, the plans varied in the extent to which they included selected child welfare program components, such as identifying children under state care who may be dispersed; (2) Of the 29 states & Puerto Rico that experienced a federally declared disaster in 2005, 8 reported having a written child welfare disaster plan; & (3) The HHS has assisted states in developing child welfare disaster plans by issuing guidance & funding tech. assistance on disaster planning. The guidance generally does not address the potential dispersion of children & families in a disaster. Illustrations.
