🌀Hurricane season is here, and being prepared can help keep you and your family safe before, during and after a storm. The best time to prepare is before a storm is in the forecast. Here are a few important medical preparedness reminders from our team to you!
🌀Refill prescriptions early: Keep at least a 7- to 14-day supply of medications on hand, especially if you rely on daily prescriptions or medical supplies. Pharmacies may be closed before and after a storm.
🌀Keep important medical information accessible: Store copies of insurance cards, medication lists, allergies, medical conditions, and healthcare provider contact information in a waterproof container or digitally on your phone.
🌀Prepare for power outages: If you use medical equipment that requires electricity or medications that require refrigeration, have a backup plan and emergency supplies ready.
🌀Build a medical emergency kit that includes things like:
• Prescription medications
• First aid supplies
• Over-the-counter medications
• Flashlights and batteries
• Water and nonperishable food
• Phone chargers and backup batteries
🌀Don't forget special needs and pets: Pack extra supplies for infants, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and pets, including medications and important records.
