Weathering the Storm: Climate‐Related Weather Event Experiences of Families of Children With Medical Complexity
The unique needs of children with medical complexity are not accounted for in existing government policies and supports related to climate-related weather events. Families are self-reliant and draw upon their informal peer network for supports. There is an urgent need for inclusive programs and supports across emergency management, health, education and social care to address the needs of this group.
