Winter Storms

Heavy snow can immobilize a city requiring households to be on their own for a period of time and everyone should be prepared for the impact a winter storm may have on a community. Winter storms are sometimes referred to as “deceptive killers” because most injuries, illnesses and deaths happen after the storm has passed or are only indirectly caused by the weather. Staying warm and safe can be a challenge as winter storms bring cold temperatures, power failures, and icy roads.
