The AAFP is connecting you to the information and resources you need to be prepared for disasters of many kinds.
Additionally, in response to member requests and the growing need for volunteers in both disasters and underserved areas, the AAFP is providing information to AAFP members who wish to become involved in humanitarian service (see Humanitarian Opportunities Resources).
