In the home <\/p>\n
\u2022When using a gas heater, be sure there is ventilation in the house, and be aware of heating sources that can increase levels of carbon monoxide. Do not use stoves as a heating source. <\/p>\n
\u2022Be sure to extinguish any candles or fires in fireplaces before going to sleep. <\/p>\n
\u2022Check batteries on smoke detectors to make sure they are working. <\/p>\n
\u2022For homes using electric heat: In case of a power outage, turn off heat until power is restored. <\/p>\n
\u2022To prevent frozen pipes, wrap outside pipes, and let faucets drip slowly. Also, turn off automatic watering systems to prevent icing sidewalks. <\/p>\n
\u2022If frozen pipes burst, shut off water to the entire house. <\/p>\n
\u2022Keep cats inside. Don’t let dogs off the leash on snow or ice; they can lose their scent and easily become lost. <\/p>\n
On the road <\/p>\n
\u2022Maintain a safe distance from car ahead. <\/p>\n
\u2022If skidding, take foot off accelerator instead of jamming on the brakes. Turn steering wheel in direction of skid, gently straightening wheel as you recover. <\/p>\n
\u2022Move all collisions off the road. If cars are unmovable, stay in the car with seat belts on until rescue crews arrive. <\/p>\n
\u2022If stranded, stay in the car and tie a colored cloth to the car for rescuers to see. Keep one window slightly open, and use the heater about 10 minutes each hour. <\/p>\n
\u2022Have flashlight with extra batteries, emergency flares or hazard reflectors, and ice scrapers in car. Keep extra coats, blankets and water in car. <\/p>\n
