Winter Storm Safety Checklist

Dec 22

Written by: Executive Director
12/22/2011 11:59 AM 

What should I do?

Dress in several layers of lightweight clothing, wear mittens and a hat (preferably one that covers your ears).

 Wear waterproof, insulated boots to keep your feet warm and dry and to maintain your footing in ice and snow.

 

To see the rest of the tips, click here, to redcross.org.

Winter storms can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to a blizzard with blinding, wind­driven snow that lasts for several days. Some winter storms are large enough to affect several states, while others affect only a single community. Many winter storms are accompanied by dangerously low temperatures and sometimes by strong winds, icing, sleet and freezing rain.

Know the Difference in the terms:

Winter Storm Outlook
Winter storm conditions are possible in the next 2 to 5 days.

Winter Weather Advisory
Winter weather conditions are expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous. When caution is used, these situations should not be life threatening.

Winter Storm Watch
Winter storm conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours. People in a watch area should review their winter storm plans and stay informed about weather conditions.

Winter Storm Warning
Life­threatening, severe winter conditions have begun or will begin within 24 hours. People in a warning area should take precautions immediately.
