Although it wasn’t a major snow storm this weekend, federal officials are still encouraging people to be ready for wintry weather.
FEMA is urging drivers to take practical steps to be ready over the next couple of months.
- Make a winter emergency kit: Have a kit in your car that includes blankets, non-perishable food, water, and a flashlight.
- Develop an emergency plan: Establish a communication plan with your family and friends so they know how to get in touch during an emergency.
- Stay informed: Keep up-to-date with local weather forecasts.
- Protect your home: Winterize your home by insulating pipes, sealing drafts, and checking heating systems.
