CPAPs & Severe Weather

 

There has been enough severe weather in the news in recent weeks that we’ve likely all taken a moment to wonder if we’re truly prepared should the skies darken. And while many of us have plans in place for where we should go in the case of severe weather, less of us are likely to think about what needs to come with us.

Sure, grabbing the essentials like water and maybe non-perishable foods is always a good idea, but for those of us with health concerns, additional preparation can be very important.  Your sleep therapy doesn’t have to be disrupted by severe weather, and CPAPCentral.com wants to remind you that there are supplies you need to have for your CPAP machine in case the power goes out.

Remember Your CPAP Batteries

A backup CPAP battery is handy for camping and boating excursions, but if the power goes out, you’ll be extremely glad that you have one. A lot of the CPAP machines available today are equipped to handle add-on options for CPAP batteries. Backup batteries can help you use your CPAP machine for up to 15 hours without AC power.

Don’t Forget Battery Chargers

Your backup battery won’t do you much good for very long if you can’t recharge it. In case of a severe weather emergency, it is important to make sure you also have a battery charger to keep your CPAP battery going strong as long as necessary. If your power goes out for an extended period of time, DC adaptors can be extremely useful, as they can be used in your car. If you have a Transcend CPAP machine, you can use the Transcend Solar Power Battery Charger, which uses sunlight to help recharge your CPAP machine’s battery.

Having an emergency plan in place for severe weather is never a bad idea. CPAPCentral.com encourages to come up with a plan that will keep you and your family not only safe, but prepared for different scenarios.
