Did Gulf Coast Programs Give Patients Enough Preparations for Gustav?
Policy Makers and Regulators are all congratulating one another for the great work done during Gustav. Patients got out of town and were given enough medication until they could get back. Thus far no complaints. However all seemed to go well because Gustav ended up a Category 2 hurricane but what if it had been a Category 4 or greater.
NAMA needs to know if patients in the Gulf Coast Area had the correct emergency information to get through a larger hurricane. Can you answer some questions?
