Flooding, storms and building evacuations can cut water, power or road access — sometimes for several days.
What to know
- Keep an extra week of critical supplies during periods of forecast disruption.
- Know at least two routes to your backup dialysis centre.
- Keep the emergency renal diet guidance printed and to hand.
- Register with your care team as a home dialysis patient so you can be contacted and prioritised.
Talk to your care team
This topic is part of Emergency Preparedness, one of ten modules in the Trivita Learning Hub. If anything here contradicts what your own nephrologist or dialysis nurse has told you, follow your care team — they know your prescription, your access and your history.
Trivita's dialysis nurses answer our care line 24 hours a day on 055 242 1070, including for people who are not yet our patients.
Education, not medical advice. This page explains home hemodialysis in general terms for patients and care partners in the UAE.
