3.2 million people are without power from Virginia to Maine, due to heavy rain, snow and winds that walloped the northeast this weekend. The storm is being blamed for five deaths, including that of a grandmother who relied on an oxygen machine that shut down when her house lost power. Utility companies are expecting people to be without electricity for up to a week as they scramble to respond to thousands of reports of power lines down by trees.
If you are on an oxygen concentrator, be sure to have a back up plan for your oxygen use. An E/Pax emergency oxygen system arrives pre-filled with medical grade oxygen and can provide the peace of mind you need during an unexpected power outage. |

Hurricane Irene is expected to be the largest storm to hit the East Coast in more than 70 years. One of the many untold stories from Katrina is the number of people who died due to running out of oxygen because of sustained power outages. Countless others waited days for professional medical attention only to fall victim to the gaps in disaster preparedness and response.
At E/Pax, we are committed to helping ordinary people save the life of a loved one, a neighbor, or co-worker. Our emergency oxygen systems are safe, easy to use and can be counted on to provide medical grade quality oxygen when government and private infrastructures are strained or fail. Be prepared with an E/Pax emergency oxygen system. |

June 1-7 is CPR/AED awareness week. 95 percent of victims of sudden cardiac arrest die before paramedics are able to reach the scene. In cases where CPR is performed immediately, this risk is cut in half. At E/Pax, we strongly encourage you to take a CPR class. Coupled with an E/Pax emergency oxygen system, you can be better prepared to respond to a medical emergency. |

A medical emergency on a boat can be a frightening experience for any boat owner, especially, when professional medical attention is a lengthy boat ride away. Indeed, the boat owner is often the first line of response when a medical emergency occurs on a boat. This is why it is so important for all boat owners to have on board a comprehensive emergency medical kit.
The E/Pax Emergency Oxygen System has been specifically designed to help boat owners respond to such an emergency. While the E/Pax Emergency Oxygen System should never be relied on in place of professional medical assistance, it can often make the difference in the first, and often, most crucial minutes of a medical emergency, especially when professional medical assistance is not readily available.
