How to prepare medically for Hurricane Season in Miami

Hurricane season in Miami demands more than just securing water and batteries. It also requires serious medical preparation, especially for individuals with chronic conditions, ongoing treatments, or those who want to stay healthy during natural disasters. At Stay Medical, we prioritize your health—before, during, and after the storm. This comprehensive guide will help you prepare medically for hurricane season and minimize health risks during emergencies.

Why is medical preparedness during hurricanes so important?

When a hurricane strikes, access to healthcare often becomes limited. Pharmacies may close, medical appointments are canceled, and hospitals might operate at reduced capacity. Ongoing treatments like IV therapy or injections may be interrupted. At the same time, the risk of dehydration, infection, and physical or emotional stress increases. Proper planning ensures continuity of care and protection of your health.

Hurricane medical kit: What to include

Many search for “what to put in a hurricane emergency kit.” Here is a list of essential medical items recommended by healthcare professionals:

• Prescription medications for at least 7–10 days
• Essential vitamins or regular injections (e.g., B12, Vitamin D)
• IV therapy supplies or access to mobile IV services
• Thermometer and pulse oximeter
• Antiseptics, gloves, hand sanitizer
• OTC medications: pain relievers, antihistamines, antidiarrheals
• Printed or digital medical records
• List of emergency contacts and providers

What if you’re receiving ongoing medical treatments?

If you’re undergoing regular treatments such as IV therapy, IM injections, hormone therapy, or weight loss programs at Stay Medical, it’s important to:

• Schedule your appointments before the storm hits
• Inquire about mobile services for post-hurricane care
• Keep direct contact information for your medical provider

Stay Medical continues to provide care even in challenging conditions through mobile services in Miami.

Hydration and nutritional support during extreme weather

Hurricanes can disrupt access to clean water and create hot, humid conditions, increasing the risk of dehydration, fatigue, and low immunity. Stay Medical recommends:

• Preventive IV therapy such as Myers Cocktail or Vitamin C IV
• Drinking fluids regularly before and after the storm
• IM supplements like MIC-B12 or Glutathione to support energy and detoxification

Disease prevention after a hurricane

Post-hurricane environments can lead to outbreaks of respiratory infections, gastrointestinal illnesses, and mosquito-borne diseases. To reduce these risks:

• Consider immune-boosting IV Drips
• Use COVID-19 rapid tests if symptoms appear
• Schedule a full-body blood test to assess post-storm health

Managing stress and mental health during hurricane season

Stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue are common during natural disasters. Stay Medical supports your mental well-being through:

• Vitamin B12 and D injections for nervous system support
• Medical consultations for emotional health
• Holistic stress management options
