Helping nurses build confidence in disaster preparedness through education, experience, and stories from the field.
Welcome. I’m Jamla Rizek, a disaster nurse, educator, author, and speaker with experience spanning emergency care, public health emergencies, and humanitarian response.

Whether you’re an emergency nurse, nursing student, educator, or healthcare leader, my goal is to help you build confidence, strengthen preparedness, and grow into the kind of professional others can rely on during times of crisis.
