This is an important message from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. After a disaster, when mixing water with children’s drugs to make them liquid, use only water you know is safe. Listen to your local officials to find out if your water is safe. If you are told that the water is unsafe, or if you don’t know if it is safe, use purified or bottled water. When told to boil water for safety, be sure to boil it for at least one minute. To learn more, call CDC at 800-CDC-INFO.
