U.S. educational institutions and health and human service organizations that employ nurses must commit to increasing access to a variety of quality disaster‐related educational programs for nurses and nurse leaders. Clinical RelevanceOpportunities exist to strengthen disaster readiness and enhance national health security by expanding educational programming and training for nurses.
