The Texas Department of State Health Services has released a bulletin with suggestions related to hurricane evacuation. I wanted this to be separate from the hurricane Ike thread, so here it is.
==========================================
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has issued the following checklist of health-related items people should take with them in the event of evacuation ahead of Hurricane Ike. Items include:
· Birth certificates
· Immunization records for children and adults
· Driver license, passports or other photo ID and Social Security cards
· Health insurance cards and policies
· Prescription medications and containers
· Any unfilled written prescriptions
· List of medications taken by family members
· Three- to five-day supply of water (one gallon of water per person per day)
· Three- to five-day supply of canned and other non-perishable foods
· Special foods for diabetics and others with special dietary needs
· Baby food, formula, diapers and other supplies for infants
· Food, medicine and supplies for pets
· Hand-operated can opener
· Water-purifier, such as unscented chlorine bleach or iodine tablets
· Soap, toothpaste, tissue and other personal hygiene supplies
· Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
· Disposable cleaning cloths or wipes
· First aid kit
· Extra eyeglasses, contacts and solutions
· Sleeping bags or blankets, sheets, pillows
· Road maps, cell phone and charger and cash.
