About

This checklist offers guidance on what to do before, during, and after a winter storm. These storms can cause disruptions to transportation, heat, power, and communication, leading to closures of schools, stores, and workplaces. The list addresses how to stay warm, learn emergency skills, and gather supplies like food, water, and medicine. It warns about using heaters safely and avoiding carbon monoxide poisoning. After the storm, it suggests being careful on ice and taking care of yourself emotionally by eating well and getting enough sleep.
