At I. Dachs & Sons, we believe that preparation is the key to safety and resilience. Explore our comprehensive resources for Blizzard Preparedness, tailored to help you protect your family, home, and business.
Winter storms can bring severe cold, snow, ice, and power outages. Preparation is vital to protect your property and ensure your safety.
How to Prepare for Blizzards:
- Winterize Your Home: Insulate pipes, caulk windows, and weather-strip doors. Keep extra blankets and heating fuel.
- Winterize Your Car: Keep the gas tank at least half full, carry a winter emergency kit, and check tire tread and antifreeze.
- Emergency Kit Essentials: Add extra warm clothing, blankets, sand or kitty litter (for traction), and ice scrapers.
- Power Outage Safety: Use generators outdoors only, never use ovens for heat, and keep flashlights and batteries handy.
- During a Blizzard: Stay indoors, avoid travel, and listen to weather updates. If you must go outside, dress in layers and cover exposed skin.
