Final Preparations Before the Blizzard

If a major storm is approaching, now is the time to finish your preparations. A few simple steps taken today can prevent problems tomorrow.

Before the snow begins:

🚫 Check for local parking bans and move vehicles as required
🪑 Secure loose outdoor items that could blow or become buried
🔋 Fully charge battery-powered devices, including cell phones, flashlights, and radios
❄️ Prepare snow removal equipment and fuel snowblowers safely
⚡ Ready generators now and confirm they operate properly — and remember, generators are for outdoor use only

Preparation reduces emergency calls, protects property, and keeps responders focused on true emergencies.

Take the time now. Stay ready. Stay safe.

❄️🔥 Fire Safety During Winter Storms 🔥❄️

Winter storms bring more than snow—they also bring an increased risk of home fires. As you stay warm this winter, keep these safety tips in mind:

✔️ Test smoke & carbon monoxide alarms
✔️ Use space heaters safely (keep items 3 feet away)
✔️ Never use generators or grills indoors
✔️ Have flashlights ready—avoid candles
✔️ Clear snow from walkways, house numbers, and fire hydrants
✔️ Check on neighbors who may need help

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your family and our community safe. Stay warm, stay safe, and be fire smart this winter!
