Take Care During the Mosquito Fire
For Evacuees
Did you evacuate without your medications, medical equipment or glasses? Your Medi-Cal Plan or Insurance Company allows special emergency refills for evacuees.
- Call your usual pharmacy if you need to refill your medications
- Call your usual medical provider if you need durable medical equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, CPAP Machine, oxygen tank, etc.)
- Call your Eye Doctor if you need eye glasses or contact lenses
- Make sure to tell them that you are under a mandatory evacuation
