Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

The Emergency Preparedness Guide offers helpful emergency preparedness recommendations for individuals who require ongoing dialysis. Specifically, the guide discusses how to function during an interruption in dialysis services and provides food stockpiling suggestions that are specifically tailored for someone on dialysis. It uses a readable format to convey user-friendly information that may be life-saving for a dialysis patient. Although the guide states that it should not be used as a substitute for medical advice from a physician, it provides concrete advice for individual emergency preparedness. This handbook also could serve as an excellent guide for organizations that support people with diseases requiring ongoing medical intervention.
