As per WHO intial analysis children, especially those under the age of five are

particularly vulnerable to disaster. They are more likely  to be injured, lost, unable to access help or health care, or exposed to greater danger through separation

from their families or caregivers.  In most disasters, between a third and a half of the

dead are children.

It is currently estimated that around 250 million people are affected, each year, by disasters, and this number is likely to increase to 350 million over the next decade.

Half this number are thought to be children. 

30-50 percent of fatalities arising from

natural events are children

- The main causes of mortality in children are usually the same conditions that

cause morbidity in non-emergency settings. 

- Children are vulnerable but disaster risk reduction can help minimise the risks

from hazards.

- Children have a vital role to play when building community resilience and

should be involved in planning for, responding to and recovering from natural

disasters 

Child health is a state of physical, mental, intellectual, social and emotional well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Healthy children live in families, environments, and communities that provide them with the opportunity to reach their fullest developmental potential.
