Disaster planning and diabetes
It’s important to be organised
No matter where you live in Australia, severe weather events and natural disasters can happen anytime – especially in summer.
Be ready
Having a plan for natural disasters and emergencies is important for everyone, but even more so when you live with a chronic medical condition such as diabetes that requires daily care.
Preparing a diabetes emergency plan and kit can help you to self-manage your diabetes during and after an emergency or natural disaster.
My diabetes plan for natural disasters and emergencies - has a checklist for preparing a diabetes emergency kit. It has space for you to list your medical details and important contacts.
The plan has an emergency kit checklist that will help you to prepare a portable, insulated diabetes emergency kit to take with you if you need to leave at short notice. Keep the plan and your kit together.
