Be Prepared For Winter Weather

With winter kicking in big time with a double dose of storms… are you prepared? The Red Cross has a safety sheet to remind you how to prepare. The tips include:

  • Listen to local news channels for critical information on snowstorms and blizzards from the National Weather Service.
  • Avoid driving when conditions include sleet, freezing rain, snow or dense fog.
  • If travel is necessary, make sure you have a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle which includes: shovel, blanket, flashlight, water, snacks, first aid kit, extra batteries, sack of sand or cat litter.
  • Keep the gas tank full. A full tank will keep the fuel line from freezing.
  • Before tackling strenuous tasks in cold temperatures, consider your physical condition, the weather factors and the nature of the task. In otherwards, don’t shovel heavy snow.
  • When shoveling snow, take frequent breaks to avoid risk of injury or cardiac arrest
  • Protect yourself from frostbite and hypothermia by wearing warm, loose-fitting, lightweight clothing in several layers. Stay indoors, if possible.
  • Bring pets inside during winter weather.
  • Make sure coats, gloves or mittens, hats, boots and warm clothing are available for all household members, along with extra blankets.
  • Eat regular meals and stay hydrated, but avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages (They dehydrate).
