August 17, 2021 – Owens & Minor (Richmond, VA) announced a new online emergency tracker as part of its comprehensive emergency preparedness and response offerings.
Owens & Minor piloted the new feature in early July to support customers in their advance preparations as Tropical Storm Elsa gained strength in Florida and up the east coast.
As Tropical Storm Fred causes rain and flooding in the Florida panhandle, and Tropical Depression Grace threatens the Atlantic, the tracker is once again live to serve customers who may be impacted.
The emergency preparedness tracker features a scrolling alert that includes up-to-date storm information and impacts as well as additional content detailing Owens & Minor’s preparedness and response plans enacted to support healthcare customers.
The emergency tracker adds to Owens & Minor’s suite of proactive, customized, and actionable preparedness offerings that enhance customer response capabilities and help minimize disruptions.
The tracker appears on Owens & Minor’s website on an as-needed basis to keep customers informed throughout rapidly changing situations.
