DISASTER PREPAREDNESS: SURVIVING A FIRESTORM WITH AN OSTOMY BY HEATHER BRIGSTOCK MSN RN CNL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS IS SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HORRIBLE FIRES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND THE EARTHQUAKE IN ALASKA. THESE NOTES WERE PART OF AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY HEATHER BRIGSTOCK FOLLOWING THE FIRES IN SANTA ROSA IN PART I BEFORE THE DISASTER *PREPARE NOW-DON T WAIT! WE HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN WE THINK THAT DISASTERS WON T HAPPEN IN OUR TOWN. I NEVER THOUGHT A WILDFIRE WOULD RAGE THROUGH MY CITY. PREPARING PROPERLY COULD NOT ONLY SAVE YOUR VALUABLES AND OSTOMY SUPPLIES, IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE. *MAKE A GO-BAG A GO-BAG IS A BAG THAT IS PACKED AT ALL TIMES, IN AN EASILY ACCESSED PLACE THAT YOU CAN GRAB AS YOU RUN OUT THE DOOR IN THE EVENT OF AN EVACUATION. IT SHOULD CONTAIN EXTRA OSTOMY SUPPLIES AND NECESSARY MEDICATIONS IN ADDITION TO IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS. ACCORDING TO FEMA, YOU SHOULD PACK YOUR GO BAG WITH ENOUGH SUPPLIES FOR 3 DAYS. THIS INCLUDES FOOD, WATER, AND FLASHLIGHTS, ETC. VISIT READY.GOV TO SEE A COMPLETE LIST OF RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR YOUR GO BAG. DURING THE FIRES, WE WERE EVACUATED FOR TWO WEEKS BUT MANY OF MY FRIENDS WERE EVACUATED FOR FOUR WEEKS, SO PLAN YOUR OSTOMY SUPPLIES ACCORDINGLY. *MAKE LISTS AND ASSIGN TASKS HAVE A FAMILY MEETING AND DECIDE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT IN AN EMERGENCY. INSTEAD OF EVERYONE RUNNING AROUND FRANTICALLY, EACH PERSON WOULD HAVE A LIST OF TASKS. ONE PERSON SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND MEDICATIONS. MAKE A LIST OF FAMILY HEIRLOOMS/IRREPLACEABLE ITEMS AND WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED. DON T FORGET LAPTOPS OR THUMB DRIVES IF THAT IS WHERE PHOTOS ARE STORED. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

5 N E W S F R O M T H E U O A A U P D A T E *MAKE A COMMUNICATION PLAN DURING EMERGENCIES, CELL TOWERS CAN BE OVERWHELMED AND CALLS WILL OFTEN DROP. IN OUR SITUATION, TEXTS WOULD SEND BUT SINCE IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, PEOPLE OUTSIDE OUR AREA WERE SLEEPING AND NEVER GOT OUR FRANTIC MESSAGES. AFTERWARD, WE DISCOVERED THAT MOST CELL PHONES HAVE A WAY TO ALLOW TEXTS/CALLS TO ALERT FROM CERTAIN NUMBERS EVEN IF THE PHONE IS ON SILENT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF MY PHONE IS ON SILENT FOR THE NIGHT BUT MY MOM CALLS ME, MY PHONE WILL RING BECAUSE IT IS NOW SET SO THAT HER NUMBER OVERRIDES THE SILENT SETTING. LEARN ABOUT THE FEATURES YOUR PHONE HAS FOR EMERGENCIES. ALSO DESIGNATE A MEETING PLACE OUTSIDE THE AREA SO THAT IF THERE IS A RUSHED EVACUATION AND YOUR FAMILY IS SEPARATED, YOU KNOW WHERE TO MEET EACH OTHER. *KEEP EMERGENCY SUPPLIES TOGETHER WE DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE EMERGENCY SUPPLIES I HAD CAREFULLY GATHERED WERE NOT LOCATED IN THE MOST EFFICIENT PLACES. I HAD FOOD AND WATER IN THE GARAGE BUT OUR EMERGENCY RADIO AND FIRST AID KIT WERE OUT IN THE SHED. I HAD PURCHASED N-95 FACE MASKS BUT I COULDN T REMEMBER WHERE THEY WERE. HAVING THE ITEMS ISN T ENOUGH, THEY NEED TO BE LOCATED IN A PLACE WHERE THEY ARE FAST AND EASY TO ACCESS. THE SAME RULE APPLIES FOR OSTOMY SUPPLIES. KEEP THEM TOGETHER IN A PLACE THAT IS ACCESSIBLE. *PLAN ON EXTRA WATER IF YOU HAVE AN OSTOMY FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, THE RED CROSS RECOMMENDS PLANNING FOR ½ GALLON OF WATER PER PERSON PER DAY. HOWEVER, THAT IS FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON. IF YOU REQUIRE MORE WATER DUE TO YOUR OSTOMY OR AN UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITION, PLAN ON MORE. YOU MAY WANT TO PURCHASE FLUIDS THAT ARE ENRICHED WITH ELECTROLYTES TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION. *KEEP GAS IN YOUR CAR AND CASH IN YOUR WALLET DURING MOST DISASTERS, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT HAPPENS IS EVERYONE RUSHES TO GET GAS ON THEIR WAY OUT OF TOWN. GAS STATIONS QUICKLY RAN OUT OF GAS DURING THE FIRE. CREDIT CARD MACHINES ALSO WENT DOWN IN MANY LOCATIONS SO CASH WAS THE ONLY WAY TO PAY FOR GAS. IN THIS ERA OF ELECTRONICS AND TECHNOLOGY, ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP PLAN. *TAKE PICTURES GO THROUGH YOUR HOME AND TAKE PICTURES OF EACH ROOM. THIS WILL SERVE AS PROOF FOR YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY OF WHAT YOU OWN, AND IT WILL ALSO REMIND YOU OF WHAT YOU OWN SO YOU CAN CLAIM YOUR LOSSES. TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR MEDICAL SUPPLIES AS WELL. STORE THESE PICTURES IN MORE THAN ONE PLACE. I RECOMMEND KEEPING THEM DIGITALLY ON YOUR PHONE AND HARD COPIES IN YOUR GO BAG.
