Public Health is for Everyone An inclusive planning toolkit for public health professionals

Emergency Preparedness For All Children is a toolkit that provides child-centered planning and response tools for use by:

- families
- emergency managers
- shelter workers
- organizations that provide care for children

The toolkit supports planning for sheltering-in-place, evacuating, and staying in a general shelter. Use of these tools can help ensure that the children and the people who care for them will be included in whole community planning policies and processes. The Inclusive Preparedness Center developed these guidance documents and tools to support state and local community emergency planning for children.

This report summarizes recommendations that were developed to establish a more consistent approach to operationalizing the case definition for the purpose of public health surveillance among adults with intellectual disability in the United States. This approach was designed to allow for research and analysts to build sample frames from existing data, and to recognize where they may be missing a given population. It can also be used to inform the development of targeted survey questions.
