—ALERT
It is essential to be prepared during winter storms. Ensure you have an emergency kit with essentials such as food, water, medications, and warm clothing. Stay warm by layering clothes and using safe heating sources to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Protect yourself from frostbite and hypothermia by limiting exposure to the cold and covering your extremities. Avoid overexertion, particularly when shoveling snow or performing other strenuous outdoor activities. Only travel if absolutely necessary, and stay informed about weather conditions to avoid hazardous driving. Finally, take care of your pets by keeping them indoors and providing them with proper shelter during extreme cold. Stay safe, stay prepared, and follow these precautions to minimize risks during winter storms.
