Emergency preparation can mitigate the risk of harm and improve outcomes. Before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the United States was unprepared to assist patients facing disaster. We evaluate responses to Hurricane Katrina which caused unprecedented damage to health and property in the Gulf Coast. As a result of the multitude of identified problems with the national, local, and kidney-specific responses to Katrina, new systems were created that mitigated loss after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The improved disaster response system was no match for the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic; real-time changes worsened the effect on highly vulnerable populations, including patients with ESKD. Similarly, preparation can only mitigate the difficulties faced by patients with ESKD living in a war zone. Government agencies need to provide tools and dialysis centers need to educate patients. Beginning with steps implemented in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and augmented after Hurricane Sandy, every patient with ESKD and those who care for them must begin emergency preparations before the need arises. Recognizing that it is not possible to prepare for every possible emergency, our health care systems must be ready to adapt to our ever-changing world. After reviewing the responses to previous events, we suggest steps that should be considered to improve preparations for our uncertain future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34067\/kid.0000000000000071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,10]],"date-time":"2023-02-10T14:14:51Z","timestamp":1676038491000},"page":"405-408","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Conflict
