🚨 PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE – STORM & CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY 🚨

With heavy snow and blizzard conditions expected, residents are reminded to take precautions to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) buildup and to prepare for possible power outages.

🏠 Storm Preparation Tips

✔️ Have a “go-bag” ready. Keep a duffle bag or suitcase packed with essentials you would want if staying in a hotel for at least two days. Don’t wait until the emergency starts packing.
✔️ Turn your thermostat up a few degrees before the storm. This can help extend warmth in your home during a power outage.
✔️ Keep devices fully charged. Phones, portable chargers, and flashlights should be ready to go.
✔️ Take shovel breaks and pace yourself. Snowstorms bring a spike in medical emergencies due to overexertion. Weather conditions can also impact response times; take it slow and stay safe.
✔️ Remember your neighbors, pets, and priorities. Check on elderly neighbors and make sure pets have warm shelter. Have a plan in place.

❄️ Carbon Monoxide Safety

Heavy snow can block:
• Furnace and heating vents
• Dryer vents
• Gas fireplace vents
• Generator exhaust
• Vehicle tailpipes

When vents are blocked, carbon monoxide; a colorless, odorless gas; can build up quickly and become deadly.

⚠️ Protect Your Household:
✔️ Clear snow away from all outside vents frequently
✔️ Never run generators inside garages or enclosed areas
✔️ Keep generators at least 20 feet from your home and away from windows
✔️ Clear snow from around vehicle tailpipes before starting
✔️ Make sure CO detectors are installed and have fresh batteries

If you experience headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, or fatigue, get to fresh air immediately and call 911.

Here we go again. This storm is nothing to take lightly. Please prepare now and plan to hunker down tomorrow afternoon into Monday. PLEASE STAY OFF THE ROADS and let the plows do their jobs. With snowfall rates over 2 inches an hour, plows will have difficulty being able to keep the roads clear. Emergency Management has been in contact with state and federal partners and they are preparing for a major storm. This will be a heavier, wetter snow then the last storm so it will be harder to move.
Be smart, be safe.
