CUYAHOGA COUNTY, Ohio — Power outages can cause a number of problems, some of them more serious than others.
That’s why the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management — in a partnership with the Ohio Department of Health and Ohio Emergency Management Agency — is offering oxygen tank refill stations to those who need them as a result of the outages caused by Tuesday’s storms.
“Patients and community members can bring up to three small (D & E cylinder) oxygen tanks for filling, free of charge,” reads a county press release. “The refill stations are for emergency usage; once the tanks are refilled, patients should call the phone number on their tank for follow-up supplies.”
The filling station will be at the Brookpark Recreation Center Parking Lot, at 17400 Holland Road in Brookpark, Ohio, from 2 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 10 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 11.
They will announce more dates and locations once they are scheduled.
Officials remind those in need that this is for refills only and that either the patient or their family can bring the tank to be filled.
