Disaster Relief and Emergency Health Preparedness

NATURAL DISASTER RESOURCES & SUPPORT:

TOGETHER WE CAN OVERCOME.

The National Infusion Center Association has procured a list of resources for infusion patients and providers
in the face of a natural disaster.

NOT SURE IF YOU CAN GET YOUR INFUSION? USE OUR LOCATOR TO GET UPDATES FROM YOUR PROVIDER.

In an attempt to keep patients and referring providers up-to-date during natural disasters, our Infusion Center Locator has a feature that enables offices to post information and updates on temporary closures, options for transferring or rescheduling care, etc.

FIND OPEN PHARMACIES NEAR YOU

Rx Open is currently active and provides information on the operating status of healthcare facilities in areas impacted by a disaster and is updated multiple times per day. Users can use the Facilities map to search for individual facility status. The Counties map displays a summary of operating status at the county level.

Healthcare Ready

Healthcare Ready is a nonprofit organization that leverages unique relationships with government, nonprofit and medical supply chains to build and enhance the resiliency of communities before, during and after disasters. They have developed two tools to assist the public in preparing for and responding to disasters: Rx Open (mentioned above) and Rx on the Run. They have also compiled a list of disaster relief resources.
