Individuals with chronic illnesses or conditions, and those who love them and who care for them, should build a plan that fits with their unique health needs:
Do you have an emergency supply of essential medications if someone can not get to a pharmacy?
Do you have a back-up treatment facility in the event your usual place of care is closed?
If you are unable to transport yourself out of your home, have you made an evacuation plan based on your unique needs?
