In addition, through CVS Caremark, the company has activated a process that allows it to provide a one-time emergency refill of a 10-day supply of medication for plan members in impacted areas.
Longs Drugs also has been stocking its stores with emergency items such as bottled water, batteries, flashlights and first aid supplies. The retailer also is remind consumers that it can fill prescriptions at any of its 70 locations across Hawaii, and to store all medications along with a written record of current prescriptions in a waterproof container.
