Winter Storm Planning
Winter storms can bring heavy snow, strong winds, and dangerous wind chills. It’s essential to be prepared and stay informed to protect yourself and your family. Here’s what you need to know:
Prepare for Extreme Conditions:
•Strong winds and blizzard conditions can reduce visibility and create dangerous wind chills. Bundle up and avoid unnecessary travel if possible.
•Crosswinds can make driving hazardous. If you must drive, reduce speed, keep your distance, and avoid sudden movements.
Stay Informed:
•Have a reliable way to receive weather alerts: Sign up for local emergency alerts and use weather apps to track real-time updates.
•Listen to local officials: Follow instructions from local authorities and adjust any plans accordingly.
Safety First:
•If a winter storm is expected, prepare an emergency kit with essential supplies like food, water, blankets, flashlights, and batteries.
•Check on neighbors—especially the elderly and vulnerable—to ensure they are safe and have the resources they need.
•Never drive in severe winter weather unless absolutely necessary.
