natural disasters

This week we are looking at the stress upon children and their families during natural disasters as well as how trauma impacts children, families, and communities. To demonstrate this, we will take the topic of natural disasters and look at the following two YouTube videos: 

• The first is a New Zealand/Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Awareness Video, and it is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhsQzy4LMQA  (Eyeshine, 2011)

• We will then go to Riku’s story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8QHjhEsU5w (Save the Children USA, 2011) He is from Japan, and the translation does distract a bit, so you will have to concentrate more on this. It is important to look at his face during the interview. The transcript of the video is attached below.

Using the information you gained from the reading this week as a guide, what services and resources do you think should be available for children and families after an Earthquake /Tsunami and other natural disasters? Specifically, look at this from a child’s view, so school and peers will be important. 

• Align your posting to the discussion rubric and make sure you support your writing with facts.  Your writing cannot be solely opinion.
• Do not copy the question back into your reply.
