Health Tip of the Week

Prepare the Whole Family

This is a great time to evaluate how ready you are for an emergency.  Don't forget about the people who depend on you.  Are there children, older adults, people with disabilities, special medical needs or pets in your life?  Here are some suggestions for how you can be ready to help the people you care about during an emergency.

• When building an emergency kit, include special medication, medical supplies, food and water for pets, and comfort items for children.  A favorite toy or blanket can go a long way to help calm nerves during a disaster.  Have a plan for how you would provide care if you were evacuated or had to shelter in place.  Share your emergency plans with those you care for and make sure they are prepared and know what to do in an emergency.
• Talk to your neighbors about disasters in your area and how best to prepare and respond.  Reach out to older relatives and talk to them about their plan for a disaster.  Have a conversation with your kids about emergency preparedness and get them involved in your disaster plan in a way they can understand.
• Talk to neighbors or coworkers about forming support networks.  A support network is a great way for people who are more vulnerable due to physical, medical, or other limitations to get extra assistance in an emergency.  Learn how you can help people around you during an emergency and make sure people around you are aware of additional help you may need.
• The local chapter of the American Red Cross can provide more information about the kinds of natural disasters you need to be aware of in your area (hurricanes, wildfires, etc.). Often, the people who provide the most immediate and important help during a disaster are not trained medical or emergency response professionals, but simply people who were closest to the disaster and pitched in to help.  Take a first aid or disaster response training course and be ready in case that person is you! These courses, often no longer than a weekend, could make the difference in helping save someone's life after an emergency.

In the summer we try to make our vehicles as light as possible to conserve fuel, adding a few hundred pounds to our vehicles this time of year really is a good idea.. lightweight cars get stuck more often than heavy ones..

Vial of Life: What is the Vial of Life?
If a medical professional comes to your home to provide assistance when you are not able to communicate, it is enormously helpful for that responder to be informed of medical circumstances that may have contributed to your condition. The Vial of Life is a very brief medical history, encompassing your meds, your allergies, your general condition. The object is to have this list in a baggie, on your refrigerator, labeled with a decal for fast access by the medical professional, only. A secondary decal will be posted on a main entrance to notify the medical pro that this is available.

When you are critical, information is also critical.

The name: ‘Vial of Life’ is a throwback to days of yore, when people kept this info in a medicine vial inside their refrigerator. The Health Center has these packets available and will be collaborating with other groups on island for distribution.
