The Central Brooklyn Center for Bioterrorism Preparedness Planning and the New York Center for Terrorism/Casualty Preparedness have been the institutional leaders in this initiative. All materials have been reviewed by the NYC DOHMH Pediatric Disaster Advisory Group, a committee of pediatric experts, social workers, and emergency planners from across the city. To order copies of Children in Disasters, please send requests to hepp@health.nyc.gov • CBPP Pediatric Task Force Members • Pediatric Disaster Advisory Group back to top Pediatric Disaster Hospital Tabletop Exercise Toolkit This pediatric tabletop exercise emphasizes the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach to respond to a pediatric disaster and contains exercises designed to encourage the free and open exchange of ideas in a low-stress environment. The materials familiarize participants with roles, functions, plans, policies and procedures within an institution and also provide the opportunity for institutions to identify areas of weakness. The toolkit supplies all the materials needed for a hospital to conduct a tabletop exercise using a predominantly pediatric population in the scenario. The scenario has been created to test the ability of a hospital with or without pediatric services, and may be modified to increase complexity for highly sophisticated pediatric speciality hospitals. HEPP contracted the Center for Pediatric Emergency Medicine (CPEM) to create a Pediatric Explosive Tabletop Exercise for hospitals. The scenario and exercise was piloted in four NYC hospitals from 2006-2008. Hospital planners should download both the toolkit and the PowerPoint template. Materials should be modified as per the instructions detailed in the toolkit. • Pediatric Disaster Hospital Tabletop Exercise Toolkit • Pediatric Disaster Hospital Tabletop Powerpoint Template • Center for Pediatric Emergency Medicine back to top New York City Hospital Pediatric Resource Directory New York City Hospital Pediatric Directory, April, 2009 The New York City Hospital Pediatric Resource Directory provides New York City (NYC) hospitals, healthcare facilities, and NYC response agencies with a comprehensive resource of pediatric services offered by NYC Hospitals. The directory is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on the twenty-six NYC Hospitals with Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs), providing detail on critical care services offered at these hospitals that includes information and instructions on admission and/or transfer of critically ill pediatric patients to hospitals with PICUs. The second section includes fifteen NYC Hospitals that do not have PICUs, but do accept transfers of pediatric patients, either into the hospital’s pediatric inpatient unit or a subspecialty unit. Data for this project were collected by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Program during 2006-2008, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Grant Number U3RHS07565. The information presented in this resource will be updated on a yearly basis. Please send any updates to the Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Program at hepp@health.nyc.gov. The same email address can be used to request a hard copy of the Directory. back to top New York City Pediatric Hospital Resources • Map of NYC Pediatric Resources (pdf) • NYC Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Units Bed Capacity Table (pdf) • NYC Certified Pediatric Trauma Centers Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York - Presbyterian Columbia University Medical Center Schneider’s Children Hospital at North Shore back to top Additional Pediatric Preparedness Resources American Academy of Pediatrics – Children, Terrorism, and Disasters http://www.aap.org/terrorism/index.html Pediatric Terrorism Awareness Level Training Created by the University Kentucky Terrorism and Response program http://www.kiprc.uky.edu/trap/peds.html National Advisory Committee on Children and Terrorism (NACCT) http://www.bt.cdc.gov/children/ Pediatric Preparedness for Disasters and Terrorism A National Consensus Conference Executive Summary 2003 http://www.bt.cdc.gov/children/pdf/working/execsumm03.pdf Pediatric Terrorism and Disaster Preparedness: A Resource for Pediatricians (AHRQ) http://www.ahrq.gov/research/pedprep/pedresource.pdf back to top
