Abstract
Children have greater vulnerability, both physically and mentally, in disasters but the ways children experience 'disasters' varies enormously. Both the impact of the disaster and the response of the child will be influenced by many factors. These include, but are not limited to, the age and developmental stage of the child, whether the child is alone or with family or trusted adults in familiar environments, and socio-demographic and cultural factors.
