Home Oxygen and Medical Equipment

This flyer is a preparedness guide for residents who rely on home oxygen or medical equipment, especially during power outages, storms, or wildfires. Key points: Plan ahead to protect your health during unexpected emergencies. Home oxygen users should keep 24–48 hours of backup oxygen, know how to switch to backups, register as a medical priority with their utility company, and follow safety rules. Medical equipment users should have battery or car-charging backups, a 7–10 day supply of medications, plans for refrigerated meds, and extra essentials like glasses or hearing aid batteries. Emergency Go Bag should include prescriptions, insurance info, emergency contacts, water, flashlight, battery-powered radio, and enough supplies for at least 3 days. In life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately. Residents are encouraged to complete the Teller County Oxygen Preparedness Survey via QR code to help local health and emergency responders improve planning.
