Hurricane Helene caused widespread power outages in the Southeastern U.S., resulting in heat-related health risks and food safety concerns due to refrigeration loss. Individuals relying on medical devices or refrigerated medications faced challenges. To stay safe during power outages, it's advised to stay cool, hydrated, and monitor for heat-related illnesses; discard perishable foods after extended refrigeration loss; use backup power sources for medical devices; and have a plan in place for medication storage and replacement during emergencies.
