Evacuation When Medical Supplies Are Needed

3/24/2020 (Permalink)

Disaster Recovery Team Think ahead of things you might need in the event you would need to evacuate your home unexpectedly due to storm damage.

When a storm is headed your way, there are some items you can keep in a waterproof container (your emergency kit) to be prepared for possible evacuation. Medications are probably not one of them, but you can have them ready to bring with you.

SERVPRO® of Spring/Tomball suggests having these items prepared in the event you would need to evacuate your home:

  • Copies of medical insurance & Medicare cards
  • Warm blankets
  • Extra clothing, especially socks & undergarments
  • Bottled water
  • Batteries for your electronic devices
  • Written contact list

Some people in the Houston and surrounding areas will also need to consider the following:

  • Make sure that at least one other person can get your medications & supplies
  • Have at least a week-long supply of prescription medicines
  • Have a list of all medications, dosages, and allergies
  • Have an extra pair of glasses or extra contact lenses if needed
  • Have extra hearing-aid batteries if needed
  • Also, grab some games & activities for children to keep busy

If you have pets in the Houston or surrounding areas, consider these items:

  • Pet food and a bowl
  • Toys or comfort objects
  • Vet information

Some shelters will not or cannot allow pets. Ahead of an emergency, find out which ones will allow your 4-legged loved ones. All shelters allow service animals.
