【翻译】Health Emergency Preparedness

Emergency preparedness takes on extra importance when you or a family member has chronic health conditions. Natural disasters, power outages, and other emergencies can disrupt access to medications, medical equipment, and healthcare services. Being prepared means having plans, supplies, and information ready. It's not about panic—it's about peace of mind. Proper preparation ensures you can manage health conditions even when normal services are unavailable.

The best time to prepare was yesterday. The second best time is now. Don't wait for an emergency to think about preparedness.
