Keep medicine information connected
Organize prescriptions, storage conditions and care contacts.
Disasters can interrupt access to medicines and their storage conditions. Discuss personal needs with a clinician or pharmacist and keep a list and original packaging. Ask a professional about medicine affected by water, fire or temperature.
Make a list a professional can check
Record medicine names, prescription and packaging information, allergies, pharmacy and care contacts. Discuss interruption arrangements with a clinician or pharmacist. Keep a suitably private paper or offline copy instead of publishing complete health records in a public appeal.
Do not assume affected medicine remains usable
Flooding, fire, heat or refrigeration loss can affect storage. Check the original label and ask a clinician, pharmacist or medicines authority what to do. Appearance, smell or another person’s experience are not sufficient grounds to change dosing or use someone else’s medicine.
Include devices, power and transport
Discuss medicines and devices alongside power, transport and care arrangements. Establish actual storage and equipment requirements before buying insulation or power supplies; ordinary camping equipment is not automatically suitable for medical use. Emergency needs require professional services rather than waiting for a delivery.
