More to follow in this section, including resources, research possibilities and so forth.

But, for the moment, if you are thinking about or planning research in the area of children and family preparedness, response and recovery from hazardous events, we are available for free consultation to help that research get off the ground.

Not only is our advice free, but we can also assist directly with research if your own time or resources are limited.  We can also make available a measure that we have used in previous research that assesses preparedness in children and youth, preparedness at home, knowledge, risk perceptions and other factors that we discuss in the book.

We had originally intended to put this measure here directly at the website but decided ultimately that it was better to have interested parties contact us in the first instance so that we could have an initial discussion about its usage.
