Hurricane Preparedness in Florida: Be Ready with a 3-Month Supply of Medications and Essentials

Hurricane Preparedness
Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy – www.SarasotaRx.com | (941) 366-0880

As hurricane season approaches in Florida, preparation isn’t just about boarding up windows—it’s about protecting your health and safety. At Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy, we encourage all patients to prepare early by securing at least a 90-day supply of essential medications and healthcare items. When storms threaten, pharmacies may close, shipments may be delayed, and access to prescriptions can become limited.

Voted as Sarasota’s / SRQ favorite compounding pharmacy by providers and patients alike 3 years in a row, we’re here to help ensure you’re medically prepared for whatever the season brings.

Why a 3-Month Medication Supply Matters

In the event of a hurricane, road closures, power outages, and disrupted delivery services can make it difficult to refill prescriptions. Having a 90-day supply ensures:

  • Continuity of care for chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders)
  • No interruptions in hormone replacement therapy, compounded prescriptions, or specialty medications
  • Less stress when access to healthcare providers or pharmacies is limited
  • Peace of mind for you and your family

Essentials to Include in Your Hurricane Health Kit

In addition to your medications, consider adding:

  • Extra inhalers, EpiPens, or insulin if applicable
  • Thermometer, blood pressure monitor, and blood glucose meter
  • First-aid kit and over-the-counter items (pain relievers, antacids, allergy meds)
  • Flashlight, batteries, and a backup power source for medical devices
  • Copies of prescriptions and insurance cards
  • Cold packs or insulated containers for temperature-sensitive meds
