SNOWSTORM CHECKLIST-
DES reminds residents that life-threatening conditions can set in quickly and encourages everyone to take precautions:
• Keep phones charged to receive weather updates and emergency alerts.
• Stock at least three days’ worth of non-perishable food, water, and medications.
• Move parked vehicles, trash cans, and other obstructions off roadways.
• Check on elderly or vulnerable residents.
• Know who to contact in the case of a power outage.
• Protect pets from the elements by bringing them indoors and provide access to unfrozen water.
• Protect plumbing by allowing a thin, continuous stream of cold water—about the thickness of a pencil lead—to run from faucets during prolonged subfreezing temperatures.
• Use portable heating sources only as directed by manufacturers, keep combustible materials at least three feet away, and never operate generators indoors or in attached garages.
