PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS
What is a pandemic?
A pandemic is a widespread
infectious disease, that sickens a large number of people worldwide.
What are some things we
should be doing now to prepare for COVID-19 becoming a pandemic?
Some things we can be doing
before a pandemic begins can include:
• Stocking up on a two-week
supply of food and water
• Periodically check your
regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home
• Have non-prescription drugs
and other health supplies on hand including pain relievers/fever reducing
medications, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with
electrolytes, and vitamins, tissues.
• Stock up on household
supplies such as toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, garbage bags, cleaning
supplies, etc.
• Get copies and maintain
electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals pharmacies and
other sources and store them for personal reference.
• Talk with family members and
loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what would be
needed for them in your home.
• Have pet foods and supplies.
• Stock up on baby care items
• Plan for extended school and
day care closures
• Talk to your employer about
telecommuting opportunities in the event that movement of people is restricted
• Plan for a sick room in the
home. Designate one room that would work best, usually a bedroom with its own
bathroom that no one else will use. If someone in the home becomes ill, keep
them in the sick room away from others.
