Visit our website for a list of supplies. If you use a generator, follow all safety precautions provided by the manufacturer. If you use a cell phone, save your power or have a plan to be able to charge the phone. Gather all necessary medications and make sure you have an adequate supply. If you rely on oxygen please be sure you have an ample supply on hand. If you, a friend or family member relies on electricity for life support devices, well water or refrigeration for medications, please make preparations now to switch to a backup source or move to an alternate location. Its also a good idea to have a battery back-up for medical equipment.
