Powhatan had four snow days this past week all the way from Friday to school to Wednesday. Snow fun can also lead to scary times like icy roads, no power and low on food and water. Lets list about some ways to prevent harm in snow days.
- Winterize your home by sealing drafts and insulating.
- Maintain your car for snowy drives.
- Ensure CO detectors are working.
- Have firewood for a fireplace or stove; ensure they are inspected and clean.
- Invest in a portable or standby generator and store fuel safely.
- Have extra water bottles.
- Have extra food like canned foods.
- Use plows and traditional salt/ice melt after storms for immediate clearance.
- Keep a stocked kit in your vehicle with a flashlight, extra batteries, a first-aid kit and many more.
- Let someone know where you are going and the route you plan to take.
