Prepare Your Home for Winter Weather

12/23/2020 (Permalink)

Winterize your home to help protect yourself and your family from any potential damage the cold temperatures and snow may bring.

Follow these tips to keep your home safe and warm:

• Check your heating systems.
• Clean out chimneys and fireplaces.
• Closely monitor any burning fires or candles.
• Check your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
• Remove ice and snow from walkways to prevent slips and falls.
• Keep an emergency kit in your home that includes flashlights, extra batteries, a first aid kit, extra medicine, and baby items.
• Your kit should also include food and water for three days for each family member (including pets), warm clothing and blankets if you must evacuate, and toys and games for children.
