Natural disasters can strike without warning, but there are steps we can take to be prepared. During a natural disaster, TRICARE may issue waivers for prescription refills and primary care manager referrals, and we need your help to spread the word.
We’ve developed this Natural Disaster Social Media toolkit to give you messages and graphics you can use locally on your social media platforms. Use the materials provided in this toolkit to help educate and empower the Military Health community to be ready at a moment’s notice.
