Keep Seniors Healthy During Hurricanes

Here are some good basic tips:
1. Stock up on plenty of bottle water
2. Stock up on plenty of batteries, the size that fits your am/fm radio and your flashlights
3. Organize any critical papers such as financial documents, living will, pet documents, insurance documents, and bills... pre pay any bills that you think might be due at the same time the hurricane is destined to hit..
4. Organize your medical records, prescriptions, actual pills, and doctors names and numbers..
5. Use a service like ours... http://www.Passportmd.com or http://www.KeepSeniorsHealthy.com to safely store your important legal documents and medical records..it will keep them offsite , easily accessible , and like a "safety deposit box" for information that you may need at any time during the after math of the hurricane.
6. Create a list of emergency phone numbers to keep with you for after the hurricane.
7. Make sure , loved ones or friends, will know where you will be during a hurricane.
8. Find a safe place to "wheather" the hurricane.
