Preparing for Winter Storm Landon - Feb 1, 2022

When winter weather is expected, it is important to be safe and prepared.

 Winter weather safety tips: 

• Make sure your cell phones and necessary electronics are fully charged.
• Have a supply of water available.
• Check the batteries in your radio and clocks.
• Gather blankets and warm clothing.
• Gather alternate light sources and make sure they are ready to use before dark.
• Stock up on groceries, water, and make sure you have needed medical supplies on hand.
• If you rely on electronic medical equipment, have a backup plan in place in case of a power outage.

It's also important to prepare for a power outage:

• Gather in a central room where there is an alternative heat source such as a fireplace.
• Make sure each family member has a warm coat, gloves, and a hat. 
• If the indoor temperature drops to 55 degrees F or below, open faucets slightly so they constantly drip to prevent water pipes from freezing.
• If candles and portable heaters are used, never leave them unattended.
• Never use a gas range for room heating.
• Never use charcoal as an indoor heating or cooking source.
• Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to start or quicken a fire. Always keep a screen around an open flame, and don’t close the damper while ashes are still hot.
• Remember, a fuel-burning heater, such as a kerosene heater, requires proper ventilation to prevent buildup of harmful fumes.
• Place heaters on a hard, non-combustible surface.
