Winter Emergency Storm Tips

• If your power is out following a storm and you must cook food with Sterno or charcoal, remember to do so outside in a well-ventilated area
• Cooking indoors with Sterno or charcoal will produce deadly carbon-monoxide fumes

Prepare a safety kit before a storm hits to help your family if an emergency should occur. Include the following items:

• Flashlights or battery powered lanterns
• Medicine, first aid supplies and baby items
• An emergency water supply in case power to your electric water pump is interrupted
• Bottled drinking water, non-perishable food items, batteries and firewood
