The Medicine Shelf

When the power goes out, most people worry about the food in the

refrigerator. Almost nobody thinks about the shelf on the door — which

is where the insulin is.

The Medicine Shelf is a short, printable guide to what keeps working

when the electricity doesn't: how long refrigerated medication actually

holds, the mistake that ruins more insulin than heat does, what happens

to a CPAP and a home oxygen concentrator the moment the power stops, and

the free utility program almost nobody knows they can register for.

Storage figures are quoted from published emergency guidance, with the

source named inside. Includes fill-in pages for your own prescriptions,

your own equipment, and the three phone calls to make before you need

any of it.
