    Winter Storm Weather Preparation

    By Larry | Safety | Comments are Closed | 14 February, 2022 | 0

    Before the weather outside becomes frightful, use this checklist to prepare for a winter storm.

    Food and water

    Water — at least a three-day supply; one gallon per person, per day

    Food — at least a three-day supply of non-perishable, high-energy, easy-to-prepare foods

    Baby formula and food

    Pet food

    TIP #1 – Set your refrigerator and freezer to the coldest settings in case the power goes out.

    Heating and lighting

    Extra blankets

    Generator and gas to run for 24+ hours

    Candles

    Flashlights and extra batteries

    Alternate supplies for heating methods, such as fireplaces or wood- or coal-burning stoves

    Fire extinguisher

    TIP #2 – Never use a generator inside. Place it outside where exhaust fumes can’t enter through windows, doors or cracks.

    Electronics

    Fully charged cell phones, tablets, etc.

    Battery-powered or hand-crank radio

    Extra batteries

    TIP #3 – Tempted to play games on your phone during the storm? Save the charge in case there’s an emergency.

    Shovels and tools

    Shovels and tools for clearing snow and ice

    Sand, rock salt or non-clumping kitty litter to make walkways and steps less slippery

    Snow blower gassed (start it to ensure it’s ready)

    TIP #4 – A roof rake can help prevent structural and water damage to your home.

    Medical and personal hygiene

    Medications — have at least a seven-day supply

    Medical items — hearing aids with extra batteries, glasses, contact lenses, syringes, etc.

    Sanitation and personal hygiene items

    Baby diapers and wipes

    First aid kit

    TIP #5 – If you are low on medications, visit your pharmacy to ensure you have enough for one week.

    Important information

    Family and emergency contact information

    Copies of personal documents

    Extra cash — in case there is no power (no ATM)

    TIP #6 – Have the phone numbers of your independent insurance agent and insurance company should you need to file a claim.
