Hurricane Sandy is likely to be a significant weather event in our region. Cooper’s Emergency Management and Disaster Preparedness teams, along with its health care experts, urge you to prepare yourself now for the storm so that you remain safe. If you rely on power for medical devices, make sure you have a contingency plan in place. Cooper also recommends organizing prescription medications so they can be easily packed in the event of an evacuation. In addition, please review the following important tips from the American Red Cross:
