Climate Disasters and Pharmacy Closures
Climate disasters are causing pharmacies to shut down, leaving communities without access to vital medications.
Many pharmacies in Canada still don't have comprehensive disaster plans in place, despite the dangers caused by power outages.
When wildfires tore through Jasper, Alta., the pharmacies closed. Not for a day or two — for weeks.
Extreme weather events such as flooding and wildfires can force pharmacy closures, lasting from days to six weeks, and power outages can leave communities unable to obtain refrigerated medications like insulin and vaccines.
This is a nationwide issue, affecting communities across Canada during extreme weather events, highlighting the need for pharmacies to be prepared for such disasters.
