Patient
Resources
Patients
in need of assistance should first contact their dialysis or transplant
provider, their local emergency management office, or their local
ESRD Network. Information for all ESRD Networks can be found here.
This information can assist facilities in developing disaster
plans for patients.
Kidney Community
Emergency Preparedness and Response (www.kidney.org/help)
has essential information to help dialysis patients, transplant
recipients and kidney health care professionals before and during
emergencies.
The
toll-free Emergency Hotline for patients and providers is 888-33-KIDNEY
(888-335-4363).
Additionally,
the KCER Patient Assistance Response Team
is actively engaged in providing disaster preparedness information
for patients and their families.
