June 1 marks the beginning of the Hurricane Season. Let’s all hope it is a quiet season, but let’s also take the time to get prepared! As dialysis patients you have additional preparations and planning you need to do to prepare in case of an emergency. Particularly how and where you will receive your dialysis treatment during an emergency, where can you get your medications, what packaged food items you eat and still stick to that renal friendly diet you need to stay healthy.
Even if you are not in a coastal area vulnerable to hurricanes summer is also a peak time for wild fires and flash floods. We are also in the midst of a pandemic influenza virus. Everyone needs to take measures to ensure they are prepared for an emergency situation. Below are links to some helpful planning tools designed especially for dialysis patients.
