Include food that requires no cooking in case of power failure. Make sure pets and animals have shelter and a water supply. Check your supply of heating fuel. Fuel carriers may not be able to reach you due to ice or snow covered roads. Be careful when using fireplaces, stoves or space heaters.
Proper ventilation is essential.
Keep flammable material away from space heaaters and do not overload electric circuits. Dress for the conditions when outdoors. Outer garments should be tightly woven, waterproof and hooded. For the hands, mittens, snug at the wrists, offer better protection than fingered gloves. Don't kill yourself shoveling snow.
