Winter storms present many challenges and dangers. Keep yourself and your family safe by preparing for winter storms by:
- Signing up for emergency alerts in your area and paying attention to local weather reports and warnings of freezing weather and winter storms.
- Prepping your home to keep the cold out (e.g. insulation, caulking and weather stripping).
- Gathering emergency supplies tailored to each family member and pet.
- Creating an emergency disaster kit for your vehicle.
- Learning the signs of frostbite and hypothermia.
