Preparing for Severe Winter Weather
Winter weather is fast approaching — or has already arrived — in many parts of the country. With it comes winter storms like blizzards, snow squalls and ice storms. Storms can last several hours or a few days, leading to power and heat loss. They can also vary in strength and severity, depending on where in the U.S. you’re located.
Keep Your Belongings and Your Home Safe
Sources:
Heating
• Never use an oven to heat your home
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from any heat source like fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, space heaters or candles
• Turn space heaters off when you leave a room or go to bed
• Have your furnace, heating system and chimney serviced each year by a qualified professional
Electrical
• Plug only one heat-producing appliance (e.g., space heater) into an electrical outlet at a time
• Plug in electronics that use the appropriate voltage for your power strip
• Never use an extension cord with a heat-producing appliance
• Check your electronics cords regularly
Supplies
• Stockpile nonperishable food and water to last for several days before winter season and account for everyone in your home including pets
• Have cash on hand as an emergency fund in case power lines are down or roads are unsafe
Vehicles
• F ill your gas tank regularly during peak storm seasons to avoid a gas shortage, or if you’re unable to get to a gas station safely
