Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts. Natural disasters affect people of all ages, but they can hit children the hardest. Irwin Redlener, M.D., president and co-founder of Children’s Health Fund, as well as the head of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness, is a recognized expert in disasters and their consequences for the health of those affected by them.
