Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition
The National Kidney Foundation continues to provide leadership and support for patients following the disasters of August 2005 as a partner in a national coalition - the Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition - as well as serving as the chairman for the coalition's Communication Response Group and providing members for the Federal Response Group and Patient Assistance Response Group.
The Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition is compiling a list of individuals who are interested in assisting in the event of a future emergency or disaster. This list will serve as a means to quickly identify volunteers. Registering as a volunteer does not necessarily mean that you will be called for every disaster that occurs. People will be called as needed. Please note that volunteers will be responsible for their own transportation to the disaster area.
