Winter Storm Survival
New York had their turn now it is ours once again.
Winter Storm Survival
Here are several tips.
1. If you loss power and decide to use a generator make sure the generator is outside.
Generators give off dangerous carbon monoxide which can and will kill you in an unventilated area.
2. Do not light a fire in anything other than a fireplace or a wood burning stove even contained fires need an exhaust.
3. If you must drive keep a set of winter outdoor gear with you. Example snow suit, sub zero boots, a hat, scarf and gloves. Plus, Bottled Water, a flash light, cell phone and a shovel. It is also a good idea to always keep a flare stick in your vehicle, with some matches.
4. If you are in your vehicle and the bad weather has you stuck on the road, or off the road. Unless your vehicle has become unsafe, call for help and stay in your car. If you must leave your vehicle put all of your winter gear on and go to the nearest home, gas station etc.
5. Best advice, if you can stay home do so.
