If you’re leading an organization and wondering how to respond more effectively during disasters, this is for you.
Too often, we wait for people in crisis to come to us.
But after a disaster, when homes are gone, roads are flooded, and stress is sky-high, that expectation fails.
That’s why Disaster Mobile Health Strategy matters.
In the wake of catastrophic flooding in Texas, AVAN, Direct Relief, Frontera Healthcare, and the International Medical Corps partnered to deploy mobile health clinics directly into affected communities.
These mobile units provided:
-
Immediate primary care and mental health support
-
Access to medications, utilities support, and basic necessities
-
A trusted, local presence that respected people’s space and emotions
The result? Impact that went beyond clinical care, it rebuilt trust, brought comfort, and restored hope.
“I don’t know when and I don’t know how, but I know we’ll come back from the flooding.” said Renee Zimmerman, Nurse Practitioner at Frontera Healthcare, who was loaned a mobile clinic by AVAN Mobility.
For healthcare directors, nonprofit leaders, and disaster coordinators, this video offers a compelling real-world case study on why mobile care must be part of your disaster response plan.
You’ll hear from local clinicians on the ground. You’ll see the impact on real families. And you’ll understand why traditional static clinics simply aren’t enough.
Disaster Mobile Health Strategy isn’t just about putting a van on the road. It’s about delivering dignity, continuity, and connection in times of chaos.
