The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is committed to empowering people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by providing information they need to help them prepare for, respond to, and cope with emergencies. Whether natural disasters or crises of other origin, emergencies arrive quickly and often without warning. Therefore, whenever possible, we strongly encourage people to consider making a plan before an emergency occurs.  This Web site has important information to help people on dialysis, transplant recipients, care givers and loved ones before, during and after emergencies. The NKF is one of several organizations that belong to the Kidney Community Emergency Response coalition, which also provides emergency information at its Web site: www.kcercoalition.com.

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF), a major voluntary nonprofit health organization, is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by kidney disease and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation.  Learn more about the NKF’s “People Like Us” advocacy and empowerment initiatives at www.nkfpeoplelikeus.org.
