- Mission [1]
- The National Commission on Children and Disasters was created as an independent Federal commission to explore issues and gaps
surrounding our nation’s ability to respond to the unique needs of children before, during and after disasters, and to make
recommendations for improvements to the President and Congress based on its findings. While the Commission does not therefore
support any single agency’s mission or strategic plan, it does support the Federal government’s overarching goal of ensuring
that the needs all Americans, including children, are understood and planned for effectively in all hazards (i.e. natural
disasters, nuclear events, biological attacks, pandemics, etc.), regardless of age.
