Evacuation kit: What to take?

PINELLAS COUNTY — If you are evacuating to a public shelter, pack your essentials but pack light as space is limited.

One of the most important things to include in your emergency survival kit is your prescription medications.

In 2006, the Legislature passed the Emergency Prescription Refill bill (Florida Statute 252.358 and 462.0275).

This law requires all insurers and managed-care organizations to suspend refill-too-soon restrictions when a patient seeks a refill in a county:

This law also allows patients outside of these areas to get an emergency 72-hour refill if the pharmacist is unable to readily obtain refill authorization from the doctor.

Please talk with your doctor and pharmacist now about how this new law can affect your prescriptions.
