Keeping Kids Healthy: Disaster Preparedness

The government says another terrorist attack is inevitable, and so do the terrorists. So what do we need to do, as a society and as parents, to make sure our children are protected? Join host Dr. Winnie King, a family displaced by the 9/11 attack, and two leading medical experts to find out the answers. You'll meet the doctor who treated the baby with skin anthrax. You'll hear how the treatment needs of children and adults will differ if there's ever a biological or chemical attack. And you'll learn how you can protect yourselves and your children from any future disaster.
