Being in a hurricane can be very frightening, and the days, weeks, and months following the storm can be very stressful. Most families recover over time, especially with the support of relatives, friends, and their community. But different families may have different experiences during and after a hurricane, and how long it takes them to recover will depend on how frightening the hurricane and/or evacuation experience was and the extent of damage and loss. Children may react differently to the hurricane and its aftermath depending on their age, developmental level, and prior experiences. They often turn to these adults for information, comfort, and help. Teachers can play an important role in helping their students' recover. Returning to school in and of itself is important in promoting the welfare of children and their families. This paper provides suggestions to assist teachers in their work with children, adolescents, and families.
