NEW YORK⁠—As hurricane season kicks into high gear, millions of people around the world are preparing their homes for potentially life-altering storms. In addition to the standard hurricane prep, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has recently issued a reminder to Americans who use dialysis or other electrical powered medical equipment. For many people, inquiring about early treatments, packing extra medication and eyeglasses, charging medical equipment ahead of time, and taking care to throw out medication that could have been water damaged can save lives.
