Hundreds of people get injured each year by exposure to cold, vehicle accidents on wintry roads, and fires caused by improper heaters. Prepare now so you can stay safe during winter storms.

-Listen to local news channels for critical information on snowstorms and blizzards from the National Weather Service.

 -Avoid driving when conditions include sleet, freezing rain, snow, or dense fog.

-If travel is necessary, make sure you have a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle, which includes: a shovel, blanket, flashlight, water, snacks, first aid kit, extra batteries, and a sack of sand or cat litter.

-Before tackling strenuous tasks in cold temperatures, consider your physical condition, the weather factors, and the nature of the job.

-Heating fires are the second leading cause of home fires. Keep all potential fuel sources like paper, clothing, bedding, or rugs at least three feet away from space heaters, stoves, or fireplaces.

-Portable heaters and fireplaces should never be left unattended. Turn off space heaters and make sure any embers in the fireplace get extinguished before going to bed or leaving home.

-If you must use a space heater, place it on a level, hard and nonflammable surface (such as ceramic tile floor), not on rugs or carpets or near bedding or drapes. Keep children and pets away from space heaters.

-Keep fire in your fireplace by using a glass or metal fire screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs.

Your safety comes first; it is essential to take the measures we recommend; we have teams ready to help you with any inconvenience, and be prepared.
