Winter Storm Tips:

• Have an emergency kit ready. Be prepared for power outages.
• Talk with your family/friends about what you would do during a winter weather-related emergency, at home or in the car. 
• Make a personalized preparedness emergency kit. Families should be prepared to be self-sustaining for at least three days.
• Kits should include practical items such as drinking water, food, cash, and a portable radio. However, they should also include items that are unique to your own families’ needs. This could include baby items, medical prescriptions, pet food, etc.
• Listen to local news and weather reports for information on changing weather conditions.
• Winterize your home and car emergency kit with warm clothing and blankets. Buy rock salt and sand to melt ice and improve traction.

• Make sure you have shovels and snow removal equipment handy.
• Keep the gas tank full

• Prepare your vehicle for winter weather and create an emergency kit for your vehicle. Always check local weather conditions before heading out on the road.
• If you have to go outside, dress appropriately, and watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia.

Be safe!
