The purpose of this event is to share information on the 2010 report of the National Commission on Children and Disasters and to discuss how the report recommendations can be supported in states. David Schonfeld, MD; Joseph Wright, MD; and Karen Remley, MD (Health Commissioner in Virginia) are scheduled to present. The National Commission is completing its term, so this is likely the only opportunity for members to learn about the 2010 report to the President and Congress.
