This toolkit, updated in August 2019, has been created to help communities, agencies, and emergency planners design and implement a Community Reception Center (CRC) Drill in the event of a radiation emergency. It provides guidance and templates that any jurisdiction can adapt to exercise the full range of CRC operations. The drill was developed to be compatible with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). It also incorporates insights, issues, and lessons learned from real-world events.

Following a report on the effects of natural disasters on children and youth, this 16-page report focuses on mental health and substance use issues and conditions in children and youth after human-caused disasters, such as oil spills, radiation disasters, public health emergencies, incidents of mass violence, and terrorism. Its purpose is to shed light on the mental health and substance use- and misuse-related effects of human-caused disasters for some children and youth. It highlights approaches and interventions that may be useful in supporting children and youth, and full disaster-affected communities, after human-caused disasters.
