How Do I Make My House Snowstorm Ready?

Not being prepared for a storm is no joke. Get yourself and your home ready to minimize damage and avoid disaster.

Pay attention to warnings from the National Weather Service or your state or local government. Time is the single most precious resource in any weather situation, and in most cases, you will have several hours or days of warning of incoming poor weather, especially snow. Dreamstime/TNS

The bright lights and sounds of the holidays are past, and the bitter cold and snow of winter is soon upon us in many parts of the nation. Snowstorms are more frequent in the north than the south (and indeed, snow is virtually nonexistent in Florida), but many of the same principles of emergency safety apply in case of earthquakes, hurricanes or other natural disasters. Snowstorms pose a particular danger to children, older adults and pets, but fortunately, you’re likely to have 12 to 24 hours of warning.
