KCER: KIDNEY COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE COALITION

Team Leadership: Norma Gomez

Goals: Develop a means that professional dialysis staff, to include Nurses, Technicians, Social Workers and Dietitians, can be made available and deployed to assist patients during a disaster.

Accomplishments:

Established a emergency volunteer database. Provided a link on the ANNA web site for professionals to sign up to volunteer during disasters. Reviewed and posted an educational handout titled “Packing for Deployment. Investigated licensure issues in an effort to assure that the process of deploying professional volunteers does not slow the kidney communities response in a disaster.
