Recovery and Resiliency After a Disaster in Educational Settings

Abstract

Many natural disasters, several of which severely impacted school communities around the globe, have occurred in the first few years of the 21st century. School nurses embraced many roles in assisting with disaster recovery. In keeping with this issue’s theme of “All Hands on Deck—Recovery and Resiliency After a Disaster,” we invited schools to share stories and, in so doing, promote activities that will strengthen disaster response in all school settings. We acknowledge that their recovery is ongoing.
