Unfortunately, bad winter weather can sometimes lead to power outages, but a little prep work now could make the winter weather season easier to endure.  \nTo prepare for an ice storm, be sure to have the proper supplies handy. Flashlights and extra batteries are essential to your winter weather supply kit. Include a battery-powered radio in your supply kit so that you can listen to the weather forecast during an outage. Be sure to keep extra clothes and blankets in your emergency kit to stay warm if the power goes out, and remember to have a first aid kit handy. Cordless phones will not work if the power goes out, so always keep one corded phone in your home.  \nMany grocery and convenience stores may be closed or inaccessible after an ice storm, so stock up on non-perishable foods before the storm arrives and make sure that you have a manual can opener that can be used to open canned food during a power outage. Keep plenty of bottled water in your home.  \nFill your gas tank before the storm, and if you take any prescription medications, be sure to have at least one week’s supply available. Having all of these supplies on hand before an ice storm or power outage will make the experience less stressful.  \nTo keep your home safe, make sure that all of the batteries in your smoke alarm are working properly. Also, be sure that you have fire extinguishers in your home and teach each resident the proper way to use them. If you are without electricity and use a portable generator, follow the generator’s safety guidelines to avoid carbon monoxide emissions, burns and possible electrocution. If you have questions about generator safety, call your electric cooperative.  \nAlthough ice storms that result in power outages can be frustrating, preparing both your home and your family will help ease the frustration when storms hit.","cbCaiq5qvGsdF0xV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq5qvGsdF0xV","pdf",57725,"English","# Emergency supplies for ice storms\n## Communication and warmth essentials\n## Food, water, and medication readiness\n## Home safety measures during outages","[{\"question\":\"What should be included in an ice storm emergency supply kit?\",\"answer\":\"Include flashlights with extra batteries, a battery-powered radio for forecasts, warm clothes and blankets, and a first aid kit.\"},{\"question\":\"How should you prepare food and water before an ice storm?\",\"answer\":\"Stock up on non-perishable foods before the storm, keep plenty of bottled water, and ensure you have a manual can opener for canned food during an outage.\"},{\"question\":\"What home safety steps are recommended when power goes out?\",\"answer\":\"Check smoke alarm batteries, keep fire extinguishers and teach residents how to use them, and if using a portable generator follow safety guidelines to avoid carbon monoxide, burns, and electrocution.\"}]","Winter Ice Storm Preparedness - Emergency Supply and Home Safety Checklist | PDF",1790542128]
