I worked at our local shelter this week and just wanted to share a
helpful hint for those helping evacuees obtain their medications.

As Terry mentioned, many don't know the name of their medications but
they can likely tell you WHERE they usually get them i.e. Walgreen's,
WalMart, Caremark, CVS, etc.  Many pharmacies have a national database
and with their full name and date of birth, you can call any of these
local drug stores and obtain their latest list of meds and doses.

Oralia.

 I too want to help 

Many of the people in the shelters can not tell us which meds they are
taking or the dose etc. 

p.s. thanks for your note

Len and Ceci,
 
You have come up with a powerful idea. I agree with your premise and can
see 
how the sense of urgency in creating and disseminating information could

actually compound problems.  I am most willing to help and will
investigate

possibilities.
 
Please keep me on your list.
 
Thanks,
 
Julie Baker
