National Preparedness Month - Access and Functional Needs, Power Outages 🩺 If you use medical equipment in your home that requires electricity, talk to your doctor or health care provider about what you may be able to do to keep it running during a power outage. You can also ask your power provider to put you on a list for priority power restoration. 💊 For medications, have a cooler and chemical ice packs available to chill medicines that need to be refrigerated. ❌ If the power is out for more than a day, discard any medication that should be refrigerated, unless the drug’s label says otherwise. If a life depends on the refrigerated drugs, consult a doctor or pharmacist and use medicine only until a new supply is available. 🔋 Plan for batteries and other alternatives to meet your needs for life saving medical equipment when the power goes out, such as generators, solar generators, extra batteries, and manual alternatives. #GetReadyRogue | #PreparedNotScared | #PowerOutagePrep
