...PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...
...WINTER WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK...DAY THREE...PREPARING YOUR HOME...
SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CAN PRODUCE CONDITIONS WHICH CAN ISOLATE YOU
INSIDE YOUR HOME...SOMETIMES FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME. IT IS
NOT UNCOMMON FOR POWER AND TELEPHONE OUTAGES TO OCCUR DURING A
WINTER STORM. OBTAINING FOOD SUPPLIES AND OTHER NECESSITIES CAN BE
HAMPERED BY POOR ROAD CONDITIONS.
STOCKING EMERGENCY FOOD AND WATER IS CRITICAL PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF
A WINTER STORM. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE FOODS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE
COOKING IN THE EVENT OF A POWER LOSS...SUCH AS CANNED MEATS...PEANUT
BUTTER...AND OTHER NON PERISHABLES. A THREE TO FIVE DAY SUPPLY
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. DO NOT USE A CHARCOAL GRILL...GAS GRILL...OR
CAMP STOVE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE TO COOK OR HEAT. THIS INCREASES THE
FIRE RISK AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR HEATING SYSTEM INSPECTED AND MAINTAINED BY A
TRAINED PROFESSIONAL PRIOR TO THE WINTER SEASON. ALSO...KEEP AN
ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL...SUCH AS FIREWOOD...IN YOUR
HOME. USE THESE SUPPLIES SPARINGLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.
WHEN USING PORTABLE ELECTRIC GENERATORS...PLACE THEM OUTSIDE IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA.
INSULATING WATER PIPES CAN PREVENT FREEZING DURING PERIODS OF FRIGID
WEATHER. IN SEVERELY COLD WEATHER...LETTING THE FAUCETS INSIDE THE
HOUSE DRIP CAN ALSO PREVENT THE PIPES FROM FREEZING.
KEEP A FLASHLIGHT...BATTERY POWERED RADIO...EXTRA BATTERIES...AND A
FIRST AID KIT ON HAND INSIDE THE HOME.
