Marjorie Tayao, who runs the Medical Reserve Corps, is making an urgent request for experienced medical and healthcare volunteers to volunteer for a 24 hour shift for the Oahu based shelters starting Sunday 7/26 8:30AM. Because of the urgency of this matter, please reach out to Marjorie directly to volunteer. She has provided her contact in the email, below. Please also send to your network of nurses who may be able to fit this need.

Subject: Need health professionals for shelters tomorrow
To: Laura Reichhardt <lrnr@hawaii.edu>

 

Need help with shelters:
Kalaheo High
King Intermediate
Pope Elementary
Mililani High
Moanalua High
Waialua High and Intermediate
Niu Valley Middle
Campbell High
Leihoku Elementary
Nanakuli High & Intermediate
Pearl City High

What is needed:
Medical and Health Professionals to help with isolation rooms and screening 

Other information:
Bring own supplies to stay 24 hours
PPE will be at shelters - no N95s given
Shelter will open at 9:00 am to public, staff be there by 8:30 am or earlier - shelter set up at 7:00 am with shelter leaders
Expectation is to have shelter staff stay for 24 hours due to hazards from Hurricane Douglas - staff can't leave due to flooding and winds, also no relief staff due to medical and health professional staff shortage

American Red Cross (ARC) does not have enough medical professionals so there is no one on-site to help walk through set up for the isolation.

Thank you,

Marjorie Tayao
