Karen
zemeks.blogspot.com | "A very original concept for a website and completely practical. Of even more importance than the list of excellent measures for a disaster is the persuasive air of impending alarm. It has, indeed, some of the qualities of "Silent Spring". An important site for all thinking people!"

Helping Children Cope with Disaster
 Click here for Quiz! A factsheet, developed at the University of Illinois Extension Disaster Resources Department, says, “changes in behaviors are common in children who have been through a disaster, and are natural responses to stress. Some of these symptoms may last for weeks or months, but should diminish over time. Except for extreme circumstances (when a family member is killed or severely injured or the child is hurt or traumatized), most children do not develop serious or permanent psychological problems.”
According to the factsheet, following a disaster, some children may:
- Be afraid of the disaster recurring, or become anxious when there is rain, storms, sirens, or other reminders of the disaster;
- Become easily upset, or cry and whine more frequently;
- Get angry, act out, or get into trouble;
- Become more active, restless, “jumpy” or have difficulty paying attention;
- Be afraid to sleep alone, or want to sleep with a parent or another person. They may have nightmares or difficulty falling asleep;
- Have difficulty with separation or be afraid to be left alone. Children may not want to be out of parents’ sight and may refuse to go to school or their childcare provider;
- Behave as they did when younger. They may start sucking their thumb, wetting the bed, asking for a bottle, or clinging and wanting to be held;
- Have symptoms of illness such as nausea, vomiting, headaches, or not wanting to eat;
- Be quiet and withdrawn, or not want to talk about the experience;
- Keep wanting to talk about it (older children) or keep having “disaster themes” in their play or stories (younger children);
- Feel guilty that they caused the disaster because of some previous behavior.
It’s noteworthy, says the factsheet, that “some children may not show any outward sign of being upset. Other children may not give evidence of being upset until several weeks or months later.”
The factsheet was issued by Aaron Ebata, Extension Specialist, University of Illinois. Adapted from information developed by the Clemson University Extension Service and the Kansas State University Cooperative Extension Service. March 1997.

In researching these quizzes, I tried to find info from experts who seemed to know what they were talking about, as opposed to the other kind. And I aimed to get multiple confirmations of the facts I’ve included.
Sources I used included Cresson Kearny’s Nuclear Survival Skills, The U.S. Army Survival Manual, The Red Cross, many guides to biological, chemical, natural, and nuclear disasters, many survival and first aid guidebooks, and interviews with experts.
