Kirk Pharmacy Hurricane Tips
When preparing for a hurricane, Kirk Pharmacy offers the following tips:
- Create a household plan for evacuating and finding a local shelter.
- Keep a written record of your current prescriptions and medication for your family or pet with you at all times in a plastic container to keep it safe from damage. This is especially important if you take multiple prescriptions.
- Be sure to have at least a 30-DAY supply of necessary prescriptions to tie you over after a storm hits.
- If you have an infant, make sure you plan for his or her individual needs. Remember items like formula, baby foods, bottles, baby wipes, and medications, including over-the-counter fever reducer for infants.
- Check that your first-aid kit is adequately stocked with first-aid ointments, bandages, pain meds etc.
- Sanitization is very important after a storm. Be sure to include sanitizing items in your hurricane kit such as cleaning wipes, rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer etc.
