Disaster Preparedness Information Center
Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition
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.
Click below to provide the requested information and take the first
step to be a volunteer of this emergency preparedness network.
An Emergency Hotline is available for dialysis units to contact in the event
of a disaster or emergency. The number is 888-335-4363 (888-33KIDNEY).
