Safe Disposal of Medications

Flushing medications means they can get into our water system which can impact fish, wildlife, or even you. Instead, find a collection box in Oregon or visit Rite Aid in Dallas to safely dispose of unwanted medications.

Dallas Emergency Preparedness

There are many reasons to prepare for possible disasters in Dallas. We live in a time where disasters are leaving thousands of people at the mercy of others during their time of need. These disasters can range from natural (earthquakes, floods, etc.), unnatural (power outages, engineering failures), and human (terrorism, industrial incidents, etc.). Being prepared for such an occasion can reduce the fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany disasters. If a disaster occurs, local government and relief organizations will try to help, but you need to be prepared as well because local responders may not be able to reach you immediately. You should prepare to be self-sufficient for at least three days in the event of a disaster. This may mean providing for your own shelter, first aid, food, water, and sanitation.
