Operation Hammond is an international, non-profit organization, of like-minded individuals within the anime, sci-fi, fantasy, and pop culture convention community. We are dedicated to bringing awareness of first aid, emergency preparedness, and training to people who attend, and staff anime, sci-fi, fantasy, and pop culture conventions. The diversity, and social dimensions of this social scene are unique. We are nerds helping nerds in times of need.

Our members, and senior staff have the equipment, experience, and know-how to effectively deal with medical emergencies, social needs, and the unique requirements of those who attend pop culture events and conventions. We are a social medical organization. This means that we are able to carry out public safety, convention first aid, and first responder duties at pop culture, fan events, and conventions at the American Red Cross First Aid level.
