Great resource I just saw from the city of Austin that providers may need for some of their more medically fragile individuals during a power outage with medical equipment requiring power. 

 

“Does someone in your household have a critical medical condition that could become life-threatening during a power outage?

You may qualify for the City of Austin’s Medically Vulnerable Registry.

Customers on the Medically Vulnerable Registry work with a designated case manager to establish an emergency backup plan for power outages. If a customer is having trouble paying their utility bill, their case manager can help with flexible payment plans and other options.

The Medically Vulnerable Registry is just one part of the Customer Assistance Program, a City of Austin program which helps residents in need.

To learn more about the Medically Vulnerable Registry, visit coautilities.com/go/mvr or call 512-494-9400 to get started.”
