Storing your medication in an emergency

If you lose power or need to evacuate, make plans to store your medication.

• Check the label of your medication to see what the temperature storage requirements are. Some medications need to be refrigerated to keep their strength and be safe for you to use.
• If your medication requires constant refrigeration/cooling, take steps to keep it safe:
  • Pack a small cooler for your medication, using ice packs or ice to keep it cold.
  • Put medication in a waterproof container or bag.
  • Don't let the medication touch ice directly. Put a piece of cardboard or cloth between the medication container and the ice.
  • Don't use dry ice - it may be too cold and could freeze your medication.
