How to Stay Safe During a Winter Storm

11/28/2018 (Permalink)

The winter months are upon us.  Winter storms are common this upcoming time of year and often threaten the safety of our families and homes.  The American Red Cross offers helpful tips to remain safe during a snowstorm. 

  • Stay indoors and wear warm clothes.
  • Listen to your local radio or television station to receive updates on the storm.
  • Bring your pets inside before the storm.
  • Conserve fuel by lowering the thermostat in your home.
  • It is also helpful to close off unused rooms, place towels in cracks under doors, and cover the windows at night.

If you must leave your home during a winter storm,

  • Wear layered clothing.
  • Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from the brisk air.
  • Be aware of signs of hypothermia or frostbite.
  • Look out for icy sidewalks.
  • Use public transportation if possible.

Following these preventative actions will ensure you and your family’s safety during a snowstorm this season.
