Welcome
The work of the NEPEC has continued electronically and in face-to-face annual meetings. Primary membership in the NEPEC consists of designated representatives from organizations, with associate memberships for interested individuals. We have also collected information from subject matter experts so that their expertise can be used when necessary. We have worked diligently to produce a set of agreed upon competencies for all nurses to be prepared for emergency and mass casualty events. The competencies were then used to provide the structure for a national curriculum for nurses in emergency preparedness and response. These documents can be found on this web site and are downloadable for your convenience. Regardless of where we work and maintain our personal lives, we as nurses need to prepare ourselves to be able to contribute to this important mission of emergency preparedness and response. We are joined in this endeavor by our nursing colleagues around the world. We have much to gain from their experiences. This web site has been designed to provide you with information about our organization as well as links to other helpful resources. Should you be interested in representing a nursing organization that is not on our membership list, or in becoming an associate member, please contact Stephania McNeal-Goddard via e-mail. We appreciate your interest and participation in emergency preparedness and response. |
