Winter storms are severe freezing-weather events, and a winter storm safety policy is a set of preparedness steps for the days before and during one.
What the catalog says
The guidance begins: “Pay attention to weather reports and warnings of freezing weather and winter storms.”
“Listen for emergency information and alerts.”
“Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS).”
“Be prepared for winter weather at home, at work and in your car.”
For the car kit, the catalog lists: “Include jumper cables, sand, a flashlight, warm clothes, blankets, bottled water and non-perishable snacks.”
It closes with a last reminder: “Keep a full tank of gas.”
