Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We hope this message finds you in good health and safety.
We were deeply saddened to hear about the recent earthquake in Taiwan and extend our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time as you work to recover and rebuild.

We would like to inform you that the abstract submission process for our upcoming conference will commence on April 10th.

We understand that many of global disaster nursing colleagues are always impacted by the current situation, and we would offer our support and consideration.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require any assistance or additional information. We stand in solidarity with you and are here.

Warm regards,

Sakiko Kanbara
