Health
A simple home first-aid kit and important medication should be prepared in time.
During a longer power outage, doctors offices, pharmacies, emergency call systems, refrigeration and transport may be limited. Access to medication can also become more difficult.
Simple medical preparation helps treat minor injuries and have important personal medication available in time.
Regularly check bandaging material, disinfectant, pain relievers, fever medicine and simple remedies for stomach and intestinal complaints.
If you need medication regularly, plan a sufficient supply in time and pay attention to shelf life and storage conditions.
Medication that must be refrigerated needs special planning. Clarify in advance how long it remains usable without refrigeration and which alternatives are possible.
Also write down important diagnoses, medications, dosages, allergies, blood type and contact persons on paper.
