    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing emergency preparedness frameworks.
    • Identification of specific challenges in pediatric preparedness for terrorism and disasters.
    • Outline of key areas for pediatrician engagement in preparedness planning.

    Main Results:

    • Children's unique vulnerabilities to agents and limited availability of age-appropriate treatments necessitate specific planning.
    • Pediatricians must address mental health, family concerns, and office/hospital preparedness.
    • Community, public health, and advocacy roles are vital for effective pediatric emergency readiness.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatricians are essential in developing and implementing effective terrorism and disaster preparedness strategies.
