Sixty-three percent of Harbor Community’s patients live on less than $500 per month—

Harbor Community’s patients deserve the respect of quality healthcare. “There’s a
misconception that the uninsured are not working individuals…they are,” says Ruple.
“They often perform some of the most dangerous jobs in the community or other essential services. We are a safety net so these hard working individuals
can maintain their health and get needed medical care.”
Harbor Community treats 600 asthmatic patients each month. The clinic received 200 of Teva’s donated inhalers. Ruple was thrilled with the

FOR THE

2009 HURRICANE SEASON
Hurricanes are an annual potential disaster for people living along the Gulf
Coast, particularly those who are low income, have chronic medical conditions,
or have limited access to transportation to evacuate.
Of the 12 storms predicted between June 1 and November 30 this year,
forecasters say six will become hurricanes and two will reach Category 3 or
more. Last year’s devastating hurricane season produced a record number of
storms. Five of the 16 storms were Category 3 or higher, and for the first time on
record, six consecutive storms made landfall in the U.S.
A
The low-income, uninsured people who are disproportionately affected
by damaging hurricanes are the same patient population seen at Direct Relief ’s
partner clinics and health centers.
To ready these clinics, Direct Relief USA and Abbott have engaged,
expanded, and improved the three-year-old Hurricane Preparedness Program to
healthcare providers in “hurricane alley.” In 2008, Direct Relief ’s HURRICANE

PREP PACKS were indispensable to the physicians at the 18 U.S. clinics that

emergency strikes this year, medical supplies will be on hand or close by, enabling providers to respond quickly to the medical needs of those affected.
FLORIDA, PUERTO RICO JOIN PROGRAM

This year, Direct Relief deployed 25 HURRICANE PREP PACKS to partner clinics and health centers in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas,
and expanded assistance to new partners in Florida and Puerto Rico. Five additional packs stand at the ready in Direct Relief ’s warehouse in case a
hurricane strikes another area. Recipients were selected for their location, past experience with emergency response, patient population, and capacity
to treat victims during an emergency.
Each HURRICANE PREP PACK holds enough medical supplies to treat 100 patients for a variety of conditions, from injuries to chronic illnesses,
for three to five days. At a wholesale value of almost $12,000 for each pack, contents were informed by responses to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in
2005, work with the Texas Blue Ribbon Commission on Emergency Preparedness and Response, and constant feedback from recipients since the
program began in 2007. Prep Pack contents can be easily absorbed into

7. Who’s thinking of Direct Relief?
Named Direct Relief the nation’s #1 Slam-dunk Charity , and recognized Direct Relief as
“exceptional” for earning a Four-Star Charity rating five years in a row.
The Santa Barbara County Medical Reserve Corps
Direct Relief committed to equipping volunteer emergency health professionals with custom-
designed backpacks outfitted with supplies appropriate for emergency-response.
Emergency Preparedness Sponsors
Abbott provided vision and generous contributions to support Direct Relief’s Hurricane Preparedness Program
in 2009, resulting in expanded prepositioned aid to more sites in the U.S. and Caribbean. With P&G’s generous
financial support, Direct Relief was able to include PUR water purification packets in the hurricane modules and
strengthen the ability of our partners in the Caribbean to assist patients with their drinking water needs.
The medical supply manufacturer and corporate supporter featured Direct Relief and its partner volunteer
project in Ghana in the May issue of National Geographic Magazine.
The Boehringer Ingelheim CARES Foundation’s donations of medications are delivered
nationwide to many low-income uninsured patients through Direct Relief USA’s work with U.S.
free clinics and community health centers.
YOUTH FOR DIRECT RELIEF
A dynamic group of students from five Santa Barbara high schools raised more than $25,000 for
Direct Relief programs through their March flower sale. That’s an A+ to us.
