For Las Vegas Residents:

• Stock up on at least a 2-week supply of prescription medications. Ask your pharmacy or doctor for emergency refills.
• Check medication bottles for expiration dates. Replace any Las Vegas prescriptions that are expired or expiring soon.
• Make a medication list with names, doses and prescribing doctors. Take it if you evacuate.
• Talk to pharmacists about refrigerated medication storage without power. Buy coolers/ice packs if needed.
• Know how to manually dispense from electronic dispensers during outages.
• Avoid mail order pharmacy deliveries around potential hurricane dates. Get earlier refills or after the hurricane passes to ensure temperature sensitive medications are not sitting at the post office.
• Buy waterproof containers to protect medications from flooding if needed.
• Pack a “go bag” with a week’s worth of medications in case you evacuate.

For Las Vegas Strip Visitors:

• Bring enough of your regular medications to last your whole trip.
• Keep medications in carry-on luggage in case checked bags are delayed or lost.
• Bring copies of your prescriptions in case you need refills while in Las Vegas.
• Keep medications in waterproof bags or containers.
• Know alternate Las Vegas pharmacies to visit if your hotel pharmacy is closed by the hurricane.

Heavy Las Vegas rainstorms increase flood risk in the desert. Normally dry washes can overflow, stranding vehicles and blocking roads. Prepare medications for potential flooding or isolation from pharmacies. Stay informed on Hurricane Hilary and follow emergency instructions. Advance preparation can provide safety and peace of mind against the storm.
