National Preparedness Month

The Kidney Community Emergency Response (KCER) Coalition is a proud member of the National Preparedness Month Coalition.

September is National Preparedness Month and we would like to use this time to educate ESRD Networks about the tools and resources available through the KCER Coalition.

This is also a chance for Networks to collaborate and share resources they have developed for disaster preparedness. Special thanks to the Networks that shared their resources for this activity.

Please feel free to distribute these to your dialysis and transplant facilities, patients, staff, and other key stakeholders.

KCER is always available to help answer your disaster preparedness and response questions or concerns. Our volunteers are knowledgeable and dedicated to providing quality care to the kidney community.

You can also find more information about National Preparedness Month at www.ready.gov.

Additionally, the KCER Coalition continues to communicate and collaborate with ESRD Networks and stakeholders in response to Hurricane Ike's impact on Texas and Louisiana.
