Forecasters are pretty confident in their expectation of a major winter weather event beginning in our area Friday of this week - likely involving both snow and unfortunately, ice. As with all winter weather events, we want to advise our friends and patients to have a plan for contingencies:
1. Oxygen concentrators, CPAP’s and other respiratory equipment require electricity to work. In the event of a long-term power outage, have a plan for power needs. Make sure your backup tanks are full, and swap them if you need to.
2. If you experience a medical emergency, always contact 911.
3. Charge all of your cell phone and other electrical devices and put fresh batteries in flashlights well in advance of the storm’s onset.
4. Make arrangements for pets to keep them warm, and check on your neighbors this weekend.
5. If you can’t get down your road safely, it’s likely that your nurse or our drivers won’t be able to either. Be safe, we will be too, and our delivery technicians will hit hit the roads as soon as it is safe to do so.
Stay tuned to your local weather and city/county officials for updates on changing weather conditions.
