Get Ready For Winter Weather

Cooler temperatures are setting in, which of course means winter is on its way.  Before the winter weather hits, make sure to talk to your family about how to stay safe and take action to get prepared.  Planning and preparing can help you manage the impact of severe winter weather.

The insurance industry has outlined the following steps that you can take now to prepare for a winter storm, including;

1. Gather emergency supplies
2. Make a family emergency communication plan
3. Install battery powered or battery back-up carbon monoxide detectors
4. If you have access to an outside generator, have an electrical cord long enough to keep the generator at least 20’ away from any door, window or vent
5. NEVER use a generator inside your home or in any partially enclosed area
6. Be alert to changing weather conditions using local alerts, battery-operated radios and other news sources for information and instructions
