The WFCCN wish to acknowledge the trauma and suffering of our friends and colleagues in past and current disaster affected regions of the world. Many of our member associations and their members have been personally affected by these tragedies; others are actively participating in relief efforts right now. None of us know when we might be called upon to manage a major disaster in our hospitals, cities, region or country. As professional nurses we have a responsibility to be aware, ready and able to respond when called.

The aim of this page is to provide information and resources for those persons interested in helping the relief efforts or improving relevant skills and knowledge that may assist with various disasters. Individual nurses and other persons of various disciplines involved in disaster relief may find useful information from the links below.
