Snowstorm/Blizzard Safety Tips 

Winter is here, and while you cannot stop a blizzard, you can prepare to keep your home and family safe.

Below are essential blizzard safety tips to help you stay protected during severe winter weather conditions.

Build an emergency kit early.

Prepare a kit with non-perishable food, bottled water, flashlights, batteries, blankets, medications, and a battery-powered radio.

Prepare the home.

Insulate windows and doors, check heating systems, test smoke detectors, and keep snow tools and ice melt ready.

Stay indoors and monitor forecasts.

Remain inside unless necessary, layer clothing for warmth, and follow emergency broadcasts for updated weather alerts.

Do not drive unless necessary.

Avoid traveling during storms, and if stranded, stay in your vehicle and run the engine periodically to generate heat.

Dress in warm layers to prevent frostbite.

Wear three layers of clothing, including moisture-wicking, insulating, and waterproof layers, when going outside in freezing conditions.

Check on neighbors and the elderly.

Regularly check on vulnerable neighbors to ensure they have heat, food, water, and necessary medications.

From snowstorm preparation to surviving blizzard conditions, these safety tips can help prevent serious emergencies.
