There is no winter storm like a blizzard. Heavy snow, high winds, minimal visibility, and extremely cold temperatures combine to make an event worth preparing for. Here are several survival tips in case you find yourself preparing for this major winter situation.
PREPARE
Thankfully, weather satellites, computers, and advanced technology have afforded us the advantage of knowing when a blizzard is advancing towards us. Preparing for your needs prior to a blizzard is critical.
STOCK UP
Prepare by stocking up on foods that do not need heated as power outages may accompany a blizzard. Make sure you have an alternate heat source. Assure that you have a good supply of medicines in case you will not be able to leave your home for some time. Bottled water, batteries, firewood, and coolers are also items to stockpile.
CELL PHONES
Have a full battery and backup batteries or charging capabilities for your cell phones. There may be a need to call for emergency services or check on family or friends during a blizzard.
ONE ROOM
Keeping your family in one room near a heat source is advisable. This allows everyone to stay warm, including pets, and temporarily eliminates the need to use up energy to heat unused spaces.
INSULATE
Covering your windows with plastic, caulking around windows and door frames allows warm air to remain inside and cold air outside. Stop drafts under doors by rolling up an old towel or small blanket and placing them at the base of doors to reduce heat loss.
