What You Should Know:

  • Nursa, a nationwide platform that exists to put a nurse at the bedside of every patient in need, today announced a partnership with the American Red Cross to help in staffing disaster relief sites with nurse volunteers, especially as the U.S. enters peak natural disaster season.
  • The American Red Cross reports that in the first half of 2023 alone, the nation experienced a record 15 billion-dollar disasters. This partnership comes as a timely moment as September is National Preparedness Month and the partnership leverages Nursa’s network of nurses to increase the number of trained nurse volunteers that are ready to mobilize in the face of disasters.

Collaborating to Improve Staffing in Disaster Relief Sites

“If you ask nurses why they do what they do, most will tell you it’s because they want to help

 others. This partnership provides a simple pathway for nurses to help their neighbors in times

 of need,” said Nursa Founder and CEO Curtis Anderson. “Nursa’s real-time technology platform

 and nationwide community of talented nurses perfectly position us to support the American

 Red Cross in growing the number of qualified, local nurses who are ready to provide rapid

 response to disasters in their communities.”

While disasters can occur any time of year, the U.S. typically experiences an uptick in weather- related disasters beginning in August and running through October. Moreover, the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information reports major natural disasters are becoming more frequent, with eight out of the 10 years with the highest number of natural disasters having occurred in the last decade.

Through this partnership, Nursa’s fast-growing community of more than 95,000 nurses can apply to volunteer with the Red Cross directly through Nursa. Each volunteer candidate will then complete a few hours of virtual training on Red Cross disaster protocols before they are approved to mobilize when volunteers are needed following a disaster.
