Tip of the Day : 28 January
Advice in case of blizzard- Prepare for power outages and blocked roads. - Find ways to stay warm if the power is off: Prepare everything you need to enlighten you and feed you without electricity. - Avoid travel when a storm is coming and if you are already en route, find a hotel to house up until the end of the blizzard -If you get stuck in your car, cover up with everything you can. It is wise to keep survival blankets in your trunk. Leave a window slightly open to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning and rotate your engine by time and just to keep the car warm. - Keep a charged cell phone near you. - And most importantly, stay inside |
