The Pharmacy Quality Assurance Commission is aware of the devastating impacts of the wildfires in the Spokane area. As a reminder, WAC 246-945-332 states: “When the governor issues an emergency proclamation for an event which prevents continuity of health care for persons and animals because their prescribed medications are no longer available to them due to the emergency event, pharmacists and pharmacies may provide emergency prescription supplies for medications during the period of the proclaimed emergency” as provided in WAC 246-945-332.
On August 1, 2026, Governor Ferguson declared a statewide state of emergency due to the wildfires in Washington state and extreme weather conditions. WAC 246-945-332 may be utilized during the declared state of emergency as outlined above.
