I know that folks with cancer or other serious illness already have a lot on their minds just dealing with this disease, so please, if you know someone who may be alone, check on them today with this coming weather to be sure they have what they need. If they are using oxygen, please check to see if they have a large back-up O2 tank in the event of a power failure and be sure they can get to it easily and that it is indeed functional. If there are any issues, please call the O2 provider to get it resolved. Also, check to see if the person has registered their home with the power company as a home where someone has a medical need and need to be prioritized for power recovery as soon as possible. Most back-up tanks are 24-36 hours plus any mobile tanks available that are used while traveling to and from appointments. I have experienced times where the provider placed the tanks too far from the patient’s reach. Please lend a hand if you can.
