As we have all learned, being prepared for a pandemic is very important. The more people that are prepared, the less panic buying will go on. National Preparedness Month focuses on preparing as many people as possible.
– Stock up on emergency food and water (this will help avoid panic buying). Here at ReadyWise, we recommend having at least 1 month’s worth of food and water stored up in case of emergency.
– Stock up on cleaning supplies.
– Have an extra month’s worth of any prescription drugs you are taking.
– Stock up on nonprescription drugs or other health supplies such as pain relievers, cold and flu medicines, cough medicine, vitamins, stomach remedies and fluids with electrolytes.
– Have extra copies of your health records stored in a safe place that is easily accessible.
– Have a plan ready in case one of your family members gets sick. How would they be cared for and where would they stay.
– “Avoid close contact with people who are sick.”
– Stay home and avoid others when you are feeling sick.
– Wash your hands.
– Avoid touching your face.
– Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue before coughing or sneezing.
– “Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.”
