- Avoid travel if possible. If you must travel, check road conditions and closures before you leave, and make sure you have an emergency kit in your car. Make sure you have a full tank of gas and/or a fully charged battery.
- Stock emergency supplies in your home before the storm hits. Include food, water, essential medications, flashlights and batteries.
- Make sure that pets and other animals have plenty of food and water, and access to a warm shelter.
- If using heat from a fireplace or wood stove, make sure it is properly ventilated. Never use a gas range or oven to heat your home. If using a generator, it should be placed outdoors, at a distance from the home.
