The catastrophic effects of the earthquakes around the world continue to unfold. Members and friends of the ACCP extend their sympathy and hold the victims and relief workers in their thoughts.
The ACCP and The CHEST Foundation support immediate relief efforts and are committed to helping beyond the first response. We have a proud tradition of providing long-term help for victims following disasters worldwide, and we are continuing that tradition. We are consulting with members and other disaster-relief experts to consider humanitarian plans to effectively impact the long-term health and well-being of all victims.
