It's always a good idea to make plans in advance for your medical needs during hurricane season in Texas. As evidenced in recent years, the hardship experienced during an evacuation from the impending storm can be stressful enough without the added complication of interrupting your antiretroviral dosing regimen and the subsequent lapse in therapy. With that in mind, the THMP has prepared an informational guide to assist you in planning for what to have on hand ready to take with you should an evacuation occur, along with a form you can fill out summarizing the crucial medical information you'll need to have available: Hurricane Preparedness Info for THMP Clients (PDF : 29 kb)
