Winter storms and cold temperatures can be hazardous, but if you plan ahead, you can stay safe and healthy. Here are some tips to help you stay warm and safe.
· Winterize your home.
· Check your heating systems.
· Install a smoke detector.
· Check and clean fireplaces and chimneys.
· Stock food that needs no cooking or refrigeration and water.
· Keep an up-to-date emergency kit including: a flashlight, extra batteries, a radio, a first-aid kit, extra medicine, and cat litter or sand for icy sidewalks.
· Keep your gas tank full to avoid ice in tank.
· Keep an emergency kit in the car in case you get stranded: blankets, food and water, booster cables, flares, bag of sand, compass and maps, flashlight, battery powered radio and extra batteries, and a first aid kit.
