DEALING WITH CHILDREN DURING ACCIDENTS
Abstract
Children can also be victims of natural and other disasters. Having the knowledge how to handle them during a rescue operation can be a great facilitator for rescuers, as it takes away the stress of the operation. The paper presents the responses of children and the youth during disasters and other traumatic events. The conduct of rescuers during disasters that involve children can be summed up into the following procedures: triage, protection, stabilization, gathering and giving information, providing connection, offering assistance for the organization and referral. Rescue operations in which a child has been injured or has died are extremely burdensome for rescuers; therefore it is very important that they are offered appropriate psychological support in and outside the rescue unit.
