This power outage has been difficult for many in this community, and one of the common questions our teams are hearing relates to people with home oxygen needs.

Here are some tips for those who need oxygen concentrators:

• Contact your electric company and inform them you are oxygen dependent.

• Contact your oxygen vendor (home medical equipment company) to notify them you are without electricity and need portable oxygen tanks delivered to your home and/or a portable concentrator if you do not have one.

• If you have a portable concentrator and transportation, please place your concentrator in your vehicle and drive to your local fast-food restaurant, mall, fire station or coffee shop to charge your device. Some portable concentrators can be charged in your vehicle or by a generator (if a neighbor has a generator, ask if they can charge your concentrator).

• Lincare and Williams Brothers have 24/7 on-call team members, however delivery could take 2+ hours.

• Verify with your oxygen vendor how long your portable tanks and concentrator will run (it is dependent upon your oxygen liter flow), so you know when to make arrangements to charge your portable concentrator and if you need to request additional portable tanks.

Friends, I have a desperate plea for a great, kind hearted person to kindly take in 1-2 kitties that need a loving home.
Stella is the black kitty, Otis is the other.
Up to date on shots, litter trained and good with other cats/dogs. They can be separated.
