Winter storms can create a higher risk of car accidents, carbon monoxide poisoning, and more. 

They can also create blizzard conditions, freezing rain, snow, ice, extreme cold, and high winds. 

It is important to know what to do before the winter weather arrives. 

Here are some quick winter storm tips: 

1. Install caulking and weather stripping around doors and windows. 

2. Insulate pipes to reduce freezing. 

3. Install and test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

4. Pay attention to weather reports and warnings.

5. Sign up for your community’s warning system such as Emergency Alert System (EAS) and NOAA Weather Radio.

6. Gather supplies or restock your disaster supply kits.

7. Remember the needs of your pets. 

8. Have extra batteries for radios, flashlights, and cellphones.

9. Create an emergency supply kit for your vehicle. Include jumper cables, sand, a flashlight (hand-crank or battery-operated), a first aid kit, etc. 

10. If you must go outside, dress in layers.
