• Don’t travel unless absolutely necessary. If you must drive, always keep a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle and keep a full tank of gas.
• Dress in several layers, and wear mittens, a hat that covers your ears, and insulated boots.
• Bring pets inside during winter weather. Move other animals to sheltered areas with non-frozen drinking water.
• Prevent your pipes from freezing by running a trickle of water at all times.
• Make sure all fuel-burning equipment is vented to the outside and kept clear.
• Supplies that should be kept on-hand include water, nonperishable food, medication, battery-powered radio and a cell phone with chargers.
