Using Medical Devices During Power Outages

For those who use medical devices, a power outage can be a very serious problem. Officials with Yavapai County Emergency Management want to make sure you take precautions in the event your electricity goes out. One of the most important things you can do is identify alternate power sources for your medical devices. You should also talk to your healthcare provider about what options you have in the event of a power outage.

Additionally, inform family members or other emergency contacts of your backup plan during a power outage.
