What FEMA Is Doing For Children

FEMA's Children's Working Group (CWG) was established by Administrator Fugate in August 2009, and is responsible for leading FEMA's efforts, in partnership with other Federal agencies, to ensure that the needs of children are considered and integrated into all disaster planning, preparedness, response and recovery efforts initiated at the Federal level. Read about the CWG’s accomplishments and view available resources and news here: http://www.fema.gov/about/cwg.shtm.
