How to Prepare for a Natural Disaster
During a natural disaster (hurricane, tsunami, major flooding), please ensure you are prepared. Honolulu Emergency Medical Services recommends you and your family members have all of your medications kept in one location and properly labeled. If you or a family member requires a ventilator or oxygen tank requiring electricity, it is highly suggested to have a generator on hand.
During a natural disaster, it's important to remain calm, don’t panic and stay home. The roads may not be safe to drive on and emergency vehicles will need complete access to get through.
