Many pediatricians do not know how best to prepare themselves or their practices to handle a disaster. This talk and following discussion will describe Oregon's vulnerabilities to disasters, focusing on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, explain current efforts to mitigate these vulnerabilities, and what pediatricians can do (both as citizens at risk and as child health experts) to prepare for a disaster or other public health emergency.
