The Interim Report identifies several shortcomings in disaster preparedness, response and recovery and provides recommendations designed to make children an immediate priority in disaster planning. The Commission is calling on the President and Congress to enact sweeping changes to end the cycle of "benign neglect" of children in disaster planning and management.

The Commission's next public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, 2009 in Washington, D.C.
