• Check battery powered equipment before the storm arrives. A portable radio or television set may be your only contact with the world outside.

• Check your food stock and extra supplies. Your supply should include food that requires no cooking or refrigeration in case of power failure.

• Stay indoors during storms unless you are in peak physical condition. If you must go out, avoid overexertion.

• Do not kill yourself shoveling snow. It is extremely hard work for anyone in less than prime physical condition, and can bring on a heart attack, a major cause of death during and after winter storms.
