Emergency Preparedness and Response Nursing

Disasters and emergencies are important opportunities for nurses to respond to the health needs of the public.  Nurses bring their respective expertise to the disaster where they join a complex network of organizations and contribute to the health and well-being of populations locally, statewide, nationally, and globally. Nurses, nursing faculty, retired nurses, and nursing students can volunteer through the State Emergency Registry of Volunteers in Georgia (SERVGA)  to assist with emergency planning and response during an emergency event.
