Winter Weather Preparedness
Heavy snowfall, ice, and extreme cold can immobilize all of us. The Upstate Region can experience all types of winter weather, and at times snow may be falling in the mountains while freezing rain is impacting the middle of the county while the south end is receiving rain.
Prepare Your Home
Check your furnace or heater and make sure it is in good running order. Never use an open flame or the oven to heat your home.
Invest in a Carbon Monoxide detector.
Keep a faucet open at the far end of the home to prevent frozen pipes.
If You Are Driving In Winter Weather
Be mindful of the weather and road conditions. Remember both the roads and weather can change in an instant.
Ensure you have good tires.
Pack an emergency kit including flares, flashlight, blankets, and snacks.
Keep the tank full to prevent frozen fuel lines.
