The Pediatric Pandemic Network (PPN) developed the Pediatric Emergency and Disaster Search (PEDS) tool to help people access pediatric-focused resources on preparing for, mitigating the impacts of, responding to, and recovering from natural disasters, violent events, disease outbreaks, and other threats.
