A month after a 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti, an 8.8 earthquake has rocked Chile and prompted tsunami warnings in coastal cities throughout the eastern Pacific region from Acapulco to Hawaii.
Thousands of RNs volunteered when Haiti was devastated by a 7.0 earthquake last month. We know that many of our volunteers will be ready to answer the call if needed in Hawaii or Chile as well.
We have initiated preliminary outreach to emergency centers in the region and will keep you posted on medical needs soon.
If you have already volunteered, you do not need to sign up again. We will contact volunteers if there is a potential deployment to areas affected by the earthquake or tsunami.

National Nurses United has launched a relief effort to send registered nurses to Haiti. Over 11,000 nurses have already answered the call. There’s just one problem: the cost of sending them. Every dollar you donate will go to providing the resources nurses need to care for the survivors of this tragedy.
Two contingents of volunteer RNs were deployed to shelters in San Diego County in response to an appeal from the San Diego Emergency Medical Services agency and RNRN�s own needs assessments done by staff in the field. The nurses are currently staffing the Faith Chapel, near the Harris fire located in Spring Valley, which is home to 100 evacuees and their pets and �The Rock� a mega church and one of the main evacuation shelters where many patients from skilled nursing facilities were relocated.
Christina Talley and Deborah Morgan, RNRN volunteers staffing the Faith Chapel shelter, are both emergency room RNs and sisters who work at Hemet Valley Hospital. They are not new to disaster relief. Both were deployed by CNA to New Orleans, seven weeks after Hurricane Katrina devastated the region and created their own clinic out of a shipping container in City Park. Twelve years ago they drove down to Northridge Hospital after the earthquake and set up a makeshift emergency room in their family�s motor home and also volunteered during the Cedar�s firestorm that occurred four years ago today.
�We are concerned that patient needs continue to be evaluated once the cameras go away and the news disappears from the front pages,� said Talley.
RNRN began the volunteer recruitment effort Tuesday with calls and e-mail alerts to RNs, and with a posting on the RNRN website http://www.calnurses.org/rnrn. Additionally, RNRN is in ongoing contact with all seven counties� Emergency Medical Services agencies in assessing the need for experienced registered nurses throughout the region�s emergency shelters and healthcare facilities and contacting other local agencies and facilities to determine where other support is needed.
RNRN was developed by CNA/NNOC in response to the Gulf Coast calamity following Hurricane Katrina. In the first weeks after Katrina, CNA/NNOC dispatched more than 300 volunteer RNs from across the country to 25 hospitals, clinics, and mobile units in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. CNA/NNOC volunteers also traveled to Sri Lanka to provide disaster relief following the tsunami disaster of the winter of 2005.
RNRN provides support and coordination for volunteer nurses when disaster strikes, allowing RNs to focus on providing patient care. RNRN arranges airfare, lodging, and meals for all volunteers, and works with federal and state agencies to resolve issues of medical credentials and licenses for out-of-state nurse volunteers.
RNRN is a national network of direct-care RNs � powered by the California Nurses Association and the National Nurses Organizing Committee � that coordinates sending volunteer RNs to disaster stricken areas where and when they are needed most. RNRN was organized in 2005 when Katrina and Rita � two of the most destructive hurricanes in history � dramatically exposed America�s flawed disaster relief system. RNRN volunteers went to the devastated Gulf Coast to help provide care for the hundreds of thousands of people abandoned and without food, water, shelter, medical aid, nursing care, or even a basic evacuation plan. We can never let this happen again.

RNRN began the volunteer recruitment effort Tuesday with calls and e-mail alerts to RNs, and with a posting on the RNRN website http://www.calnurses.org/rnrn. Additionally, RNRN is in ongoing contact with all seven counties� Emergency Medical Services agencies in assessing the need for experienced registered nurses throughout the region�s emergency shelters and healthcare facilities and contacting other local agencies and facilities to determine where other support is needed.
RNRN was developed by CNA/NNOC in response to the Gulf Coast calamity following Hurricane Katrina. In the first weeks after Katrina, CNA/NNOC dispatched more than 300 volunteer RNs from across the country to 25 hospitals, clinics, and mobile units in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. CNA/NNOC volunteers also traveled to Sri Lanka to provide disaster relief following the tsunami disaster of the winter of 2005.
RNRN provides support and coordination for volunteer nurses when disaster strikes, allowing RNs to focus on providing patient care. RNRN arranges airfare, lodging, and meals for all volunteers, and works with federal and state agencies to resolve issues of medical credentials and licenses for out-of-state nurse volunteers.

RNRN is a national network of direct-care RNs � powered by the California Nurses Association and the National Nurses Organizing Committee � that coordinates sending volunteer RNs to disaster stricken areas where and when they are needed most. RNRN was organized in 2005 when Katrina and Rita � two of the most destructive hurricanes in history � dramatically exposed America�s flawed disaster relief system. RNRN volunteers went to the devastated Gulf Coast to help provide care for the hundreds of thousands of people abandoned and without food, water, shelter, medical aid, nursing care, or even a basic evacuation plan. We can never let this happen again.
What You Can Do To Help:
Don't delay! It quickly became apparent that America was not prepared for the hurricanes that devastated the Gulf region in 2005. By joining RNRN today, YOU will become part of an infrastructure ready to respond quickly and efficiently when and where disaster strikes again.

-> Dear Haiti RN Volunteer,
Chilean Earthquake, Pacific Tsunami Places RNRN on Standby
A month after a 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti, an 8.8 earthquake has rocked Chile and prompted tsunami warnings in coastal cities throughout the eastern Pacific region from Acapulco to Hawaii.
Thousands of RNs volunteered when Haiti was devastated by a 7.0 earthquake last month. We know that many of our volunteers will be ready to answer the call if needed in Hawaii or Chile as well.
We have initiated preliminary outreach to emergency centers in the region and will keep you posted on medical needs soon.
If you have already volunteered, you do not need to sign up again. We will contact volunteers if there is a potential deployment to areas affected by the earthquake or tsunami.
Hawaiian residents
If you are in Hawaii and need to know where the evacuation zones are, click here and here is a list of shelters. (Because of the traffic, this site may be down – if it is, you can find a map of the evacuation zones in your phone book)
Haiti mission continues
Concurrently, we are continuing deployments for Haiti. Our most recent team of RNs returned this week from an assignment aboard the Navy medical ship, the USNS Comfort.
Photos and reports from our Haiti volunteers are posted on our website. We are continuing contacts with governmental and private relief organizations for schedule future assignments.
Thank you giving us the capability to respond when needed, and for your ongoing dedication, commitment and passion for those most in need.
In Unity,

2010 HAITI EARTHQUAKE
National Nurses United has launched a relief effort to send registered nurses to Haiti. Over 11,000 nurses have already answered the call. There’s just one problem: the cost of sending them. Every dollar you donate will go to providing the resources nurses need to care for the survivors of this tragedy.

CNA/NNOC Nurse Volunteers Deployed To Southern California Firestorm
The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee has sent volunteer registered nurses through its Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN) to Southern California to assist in responding to the spreading disaster created by wildfires in the region.
Two contingents of volunteer RNs were deployed to shelters in San Diego County in response to an appeal from the San Diego Emergency Medical Services agency and RNRN�s own needs assessments done by staff in the field. The nurses are currently staffing the Faith Chapel, near the Harris fire located in Spring Valley, which is home to 100 evacuees and their pets and �The Rock� a mega church and one of the main evacuation shelters where many patients from skilled nursing facilities were relocated.
Christina Talley and Deborah Morgan, RNRN volunteers staffing the Faith Chapel shelter, are both emergency room RNs and sisters who work at Hemet Valley Hospital. They are not new to disaster relief. Both were deployed by CNA to New Orleans, seven weeks after Hurricane Katrina devastated the region and created their own clinic out of a shipping container in City Park. Twelve years ago they drove down to Northridge Hospital after the earthquake and set up a makeshift emergency room in their family�s motor home and also volunteered during the Cedar�s firestorm that occurred four years ago today.
�We are concerned that patient needs continue to be evaluated once the cameras go away and the news disappears from the front pages,� said Talley.
