Please take a moment to review and assemble an emergency supply kit for the safety of yourself and family:
Regarding power and communication, ensure you have functional flashlights with extra batteries, portable power banks for your devices, and a battery-powered radio to stay informed if the grid goes down.
For sustenance, stock up on non-perishable food and water, including supplies for pets. It is also wise to have a metal can and matches available as a means to melt snow if necessary.
To maintain warmth during a power outage, please keep blankets, sleeping bags, and extra winter clothing easily accessible.
Your safety is a priority, so verify that your first-aid kit is fully stocked and that you have a fire extinguisher on hand. Most importantly, please ensure your carbon monoxide detectors are functioning correctly, as these are essential during winter weather. You should also have emergency toilet supplies prepared.
Finally, ensure you have the necessary tools for snow removal and vehicle safety, including a shovel, rock salt or ice melt, a basic toolkit, and a tow rope.
Please prioritize these preparations to ensure you are ready for the arriving storm.
