Winter Weather Check List

The winter and cold weather is here! You need to check for freezing popes and water leaks. Water can cause severe damage to your home. Check out these Winter and Cold Weather safety tips!

Winter Cold & Freezing Safety Checklist

aDress in several layers of lightweight
    clothing, wear mittens and a hat

aWear waterproof, insulated boots to keep
    your feet warm and dry.

aMinimize travel. If travel is necessary,
    keep a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle.

aListen to a NOAAWeather Radio or other
    local news channels for critical
    information from the NationalWeather
    Service (NWS).

aWinterize your vehicle and keep the gas
    tank full. A full tank will keep the fuel line
    from freezing.

aInsulate your home by installing storm
    windows or covering windows with plastic
    from the inside to keep cold air out.

aMaintain heating equipment and
   chimneys by having them cleaned and
   inspected every year.

aBring pets/companion animals inside
   during winter weather. Move other
   animals or livestock to sheltered areas
    with non-frozen drinking water.

aRunning water, even at a trickle, helps
    prevent pipes from freezing.

aAll fuel-burning equipment should be
   vented to the outside and kept clear.
