WELCOME
TO THE KCER COALITION
An
emergency or disaster is an event that can result in significant
harm to lives and/or property, as well as disruption in daily
activities. For
the people receiving kidney dialysis or living with a kidney
transplant, planning for emergencies and disasters can be the
difference between life and death. Dialysis and kidney transplant
patients must take special preparedness measures to ensure their
own health and safety during and after disasters.
The
Kidney Community Emergency Response (KCER) Coalition
provides technical assistance to ESRD Networks, Medicare organizations,
and other groups to ensure timely and efficient emergency preparedness,
response, and recovery for the kidney community.
KCER
strives to provide resources to save lives, improve outcomes,
empower patients and families, educate healthcare workers, build
partnerships with stakeholders, promote awareness in the community,
and support the ESRD Network Program.

Response Teams, and resources for patients, providers, and ESRD
