Document: Moreover, floods, hurricanes, and other disasters, such as biologic disasters [17] , may isolate and endanger dialysis patients. Hurricane Katrina, which occurred in August 2005 in New Orleans in the United States, was an unprecedented catastrophe in American history [18] . About half of dialysis facilities in the affected area were closed for more than 10 days, and patients on hemodialysis missed at least one dialysis session, and some missed three or more sessions [18, 19] . Since then, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, health-care provider community, and state have begun a voluntary rapid response system. As a result, the Kidney Community Emergency Response (KCER) Coalition has been organized to respond to mitigate the effects of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery through the ESRD patient network [20, 21] . In addition, patients undergoing maintenance dialysis have been actively educated on how to prepare for disasters [22] . www.krcp-ksn.org
