http://www.emergency.cdc.gov/disasters/hurricanes/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offer a useful tool to help citizens and responders prepare and respond to, and recover from hurricanes and tropical storms. There are podcasts, videos, sign language videos, and more to help you and your family prepare for hurricanes.

Tropical Storm Fay is currently impacting Florida. Residents should stay tuned to local media for their weather reports. Florida Dialysis providers should notify Network 7 of any issues or facility closures due to the storm. Dialysis providers needing technical assistance should call 813-383-1530. There is also a patient hotline, 800-826-3773.
