Name
421: Live Experience and Disaster Preparedness
Date & Time
Sunday, September 28, 2025, 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
Description

This session will focus on the experiences of nephrology nurses and their patients in the aftermath of a disaster. Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods, can compromise dialysis centers and healthcare services. This disruption can make it difficult for patients to access dialysis, leading to delays or even preventing them from receiving life-saving treatments. It is essential for dialysis patients and healthcare systems to prepare for disasters. Being prepared helps ensure the continuity of care and minimizes the impact on those who rely on these treatments. To reduce risks during disasters, nephrology nurses must take proactive steps before they occur and be ready to respond during and after the events.
