Some great tips from our neighbors in Falls Township!
๐จAre you ready for the snowstorm?โ
There is a potential for a significant snow event this weekend, with various sources stating the accumulations could be substantial. While this is still too far out for any type of true forecast, we wanted to give everyone some additional time to prepare to move all your vehicles, boats, trailers, off all township streets in the event that we declare a snow emergency.
With less obstacles it allows our emergency services a quicker response to you in time of need, and also allows our public works an easier path to clear our roads. Predictions are calling for double-digit amounts of snow in our area starting on Sunday. Please prepare for the worst case scenario. Below are some tips from the Red Cross in case of a severe storm:
โ
Gather food, water, and medicine before a winter storm. Stores might be closed, and it may be unsafe to travel.
โ
Organize supplies into a Go-Kit and a Stay-at-Home Kit. Go-Kit: at least 3 days of supplies you can carry with you if you need to go somewhere else to stay warm. Include critical backup batteries and chargers for your devices (cell phone, CPAP, wheelchair, etc.).
โ
Stay-at-Home Kit: at least 2 weeks of supplies. Ensure you have enough warm clothing, such as hats, mittens, and blankets, for everyone in your household.
โ
You may lose access to drinking water. Set aside at least 1 gallon of drinking water per person per day.
โ
Consider having emergency supplies in your vehicle, such as a blanket, warm clothing, a first aid kit, and boots.
โ
Have a 1-month supply of needed medications and medical supplies. Consider keeping a list of your medications and dosages on a small card to carry with you.
โ
Keep personal, financial, and medical records safe and easy to access (hard copies or securely backed up).
โ
Have a snow shovel and ice-melting products to keep your walkways safe.
