Adolescence, broadly described as the transitional period between 10 and 19 years, is a critical age where personal identity is being shaped and social skills and empathy being cultivated. Adolescent data is usually clubbed with child or youth data, and their specific needs are overlooked within disasterDisaster planning and mitigation discourse. Disconnection from schools and peer networks during disasterDisasters and extreme weather events not only causes disruptions in the academic progress of adolescents but also sets back their social and emotional development.
