January 26, 2024
To Follow at Home, On the Road, and Outside!
At Home
- Have your heating system checked.
- Clean out your gutters.
- Insulate windows and water lines that run along exterior walls.
On the Road
- Pack essential items in your car in case of an emergency. These include a blanket, hats and gloves, a flashlight and batteries, a bag of sand or cat litter and a first-aid kit.
- Check your tires’ tread and replace them if needed before inclement weather.
- Make sure fluids (including the gas tank) are full.
Outside
- Layer up! Wear a layer or two of clothing underneath a hat, gloves, scarf and boots for the ultimate protection.
- Make sure you have the tools you need to tackle snow and ice, like a snow shovel and ice-melting products.
- After a winter storm, be aware of your surroundings and watch out for fallen branches, trees and ice. Take your time when shoveling.
