For Veterans who live in areas impacted by hurricane season, advanced planning and preparation is essential. The Office of Connected Care recently published a VA News article that explains how VA virtual care tools can be a part of that planning.
Incorporating the following virtual care resources into your emergency planning can help ensure that your health needs are met: using video telehealth and My HealtheVet patient portal features; staying in touch with an assigned Remote Patient Monitoring – Home Telehealth (RPM-HT) care coordinator; and keeping the Veterans Crisis Line (dial 988 then press 1, or text 838255) and other federal agency resource numbers on hand.
