The 2017 hurricane season showed just how devastating natural disasters can be. Those of us who saw the devastation in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico won’t soon forget those images, and many of us were moved to donate to disaster relief efforts upon learning of the great need for help.
For some nurses, disaster relief involves more than donating money and keeping hurricane victims in their thoughts and prayers. A number of nurses — either through National Guard connections or by volunteering on their own — made the trek to hurricane-affected areas to help those most impacted by the disaster.
An article titled “Here’s How to Help Hurricane Harvey Victims” on Nurse.com noted that the American Red Cross was recruiting medical professionals and mental healthcare professionals who could commit to a nine-day deployment.
It also noted that at least one travel nursing agency was actively recruiting nurses to help in Texas into the next year, and that Texas state agencies were helping to expedite the process of qualifying nurses and getting them to areas of need.
The Austin American-Statesman covered the story of Austin Regional Clinic nurse Judith Chedville, who was sent to Houston by her National Guard unit — the first time in her 12 years in the Guard she’d been asked to serve. She said, “This truly is the opportunity that most of us who are in the National Guard want: To help people in our area.”
And, of course, there were remarkable stories of hometown nurses who carried out their nursing duties even during nearly untenable conditions. KHOU-TV in Houston told of a pair of Memorial Herrmann-Texas Medical Center nurses, Morgan McCullough and Casey Aslan, who used a kayak to navigate Houston’s flooded streets to join their hospital’s disaster response team.
Though their story is dramatic and remarkable, it does highlight an important consideration in disaster relief efforts — balancing the ethical obligation to help others, and even to put patients ahead of themselves, with keeping themselves out of harm’s way.
An American Nurses Association brief on the issue points out that sometimes, it’s not just a nurse’s personal ethics that determine whether a nurse must respond to a natural or manmade disaster. Some states have laws compelling nurses to respond, with punishments possible for those who don’t.
A number of states attempted to clarify the issue with the passage of the Uniform Emergency Volunteer Health Practitioners Act (UEVHPA) . As the ANA brief noted, “the act establishes a system for rapid, streamlined deployment of licensed human service providers in areas of declared emergency. In addition, it provides legal safeguards for practitioners acting within their scope and in good faith, clarifies some interstate practice differences, and deems the legal scope of practice authority to the state requesting the practitioners to maximize their participation.”
The hurricanes of 2017 were the most recent reminders that disaster preparedness is a must, especially for the nurses playing a vital role on healthcare teams formed to meet those disasters head-on. Eastern Michigan University’s online RN to BSN program includes an elective course, Management
of Health Care Delivery: Disasters & Bioterrorism, that covers natural and manmade disasters, how they impact healthcare delivery, and how nurses and other healthcare professionals can meet the acute, unique challenges of those situations. As unusual as those situations are, they are times when well-educated nurses are needed most.

Emergencies can strike at any time. Jarring, chaotic and often life-threatening, they startle the senses and send adrenaline soaring. In this three-part series, you will meet three registered nurses and one nurse practitioner whose peaceful off-hours were catapulted into frenzied encounters on planes, in quiet living rooms, and even in a community bar. These nurses jumped into action without hesitation.
Part 1: Drummer’s heart stops during performance
David Fox and his wife Rowena – both RNs – had just arrived at their local watering hole to watch a friend’s band perform during the summer of 2014. They were settling in for the first set and David noticed his friend, the band’s drummer, looked a little unwell. Suddenly, he stopped playing and collapsed on his drum set. As David and Rowena ran towards him, most of the other patrons headed in the opposite direction. With extensive experience in emergency nursing, the NICU and ICU, David knew he had to begin compressions immediately while Rowena calmly called 911 to notify them of a cardiac arrest. “My office is down the street from where this happened and where I would have had access to the drugs and the equipment,” David says. “I was sitting there with my bare hands, and that’s all I had.”
Fortunately, the seasoned RN had just updated his CPR training two weeks earlier and knew about the new protocols for CPR. Rather than 15 compressions, then a breath, the new standard is to offer continuous compressions with no breath. “People were heckling my CPR,” he remembers. Even the fire officials and paramedics told him he didn’t know what he was doing when they arrived.
“I knew what I was doing the whole time,” he says confidently. And it paid off. His friend recovered and returned to drumming within a year of the incident.
Knowing survival rates for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are extremely low, David says he’s “…happy to see the guy is up walking around and having a normal life because that’s not the norm.” In fact, his recovery was being watched carefully by researchers at Sunnybrook who were conducting a study several months later, and interviewed David about the CPR he gave.
When the conversation turns toward fate, and being in the right place at the right time, David is reluctant to speculate that it was anything more than luck. He says he wouldn’t abandon a stranger, let alone a good friend. “I just kept doing what I was supposed to do to keep him going.”
It’s not lost on David just how lucky his friend is to be alive. But he won’t take any credit for it. “I don’t want anyone to feel they’re indebted to me for something like that,” he says. “I feel that…I’m obligated to help. I have the ability and the knowledge to do it. I shouldn’t be the person running away.”
He’s also adamant that it takes more than one person to save a life. “I did what I could do. The paramedics did what they could do. Then a whole bunch of people at the hospital did what they could do. A hundred people saved his life. The guy who taught me the new CPR saved his life. My wife, who was telling EMS what was going on… all of that made a difference.”
