The purpose of this American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Pediatric and Public Health Preparedness Exercise Resource Kit is to provide the tools and templates to make it easier for states, communities, hospitals, or healthcare coalitions to conduct a pediatric tabletop exercise, which provides participants with the opportunity to discuss and assess preparedness plans and capabilities for a disaster that affects children. The resource kit is the result of a collaboration between the AAP and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has been prepared and reviewed by experts in disaster preparedness. Information on this collaboration specific to tabletop exercises is summarized within the AAP Pediatric and Public Health Tabletop Exercise page.
