Safety Tip and bottom Line Back To Top
Natural Disasters Preparedness - At Home: Preparing for a
Snow Storm
While the winter season ushers
in outdoor fun in the snow, winter storms bring hazardous conditions that pose
a serious safety threat. Ranging from moderate snow over a few hours to
blizzard conditions that last several days, a winter storm is not something to
mess around with. Your best defense is to be prepared. Plan
ahead to keep your family and home safe.
Winterize Your Home
Don't wait until the first snow
to think about preparing your house for winter weather. Do it this fall. Be
energy efficient and keep the cold out by installing storm windows or covering
your windows with sturdy plastic. Fill in any cracks around windows and doors
with caulk or weather stripping. Insulate pipes and remove hoses from outdoor
water faucets. Be sure to have a good snow shovel and keep plenty of rock salt
or sand on hand for slippery driveways and walks.
Look around the yard to
determine if any trees might pose a hazard to the house if they were to fall.
Consider having them removed by a professional tree service.
When a Snow Storm Approaches
A severe snow storm could keep
you trapped in your house for several days or longer. If you heat with wood,
oil, or bottled gas, check your fuel supply and call for a delivery before the
storm hits. Conserve fuel by keeping your house cooler than usual. Temporarily
shut off heat to less-used rooms. Let faucets drip a little to avoid freezing.
Be sure smoke detectors are working. And keep a fire extinguisher at the ready.
Assemble Emergency Supplies
Make a trip to the store for
supplies before the storm develops. Don't forget essentials, such as
prescription medications, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, baby supplies, a
week's supply of food (non-perishable), and bottled water. High energy food,
such as dried fruit, nuts, and canned goods that do not require heating are
best. Plan on a gallon of water per day per person.
Don't forget your manual can opener. Gather extra blankets, sleeping bags, and
warm clothing (at least one change of clothes for each family member). It's a
good idea to make checklist of emergency supplies and keep it stocked in
easy-to-carry bags or boxes at all times.
Prepared for a Power Outage
In the event of a power outage,
having a safe alternative source of heat is essential. Keep an ample supply of
wood for the fireplace or a kerosene space heater with extra heating fuel. Make
sure that you have flashlights with extra batteries, or candles and matches.
Stay tuned to your local forecast with a portable battery-operated radio. If
your furnace goes out, take these precautions. Close off any rooms that aren't
needed. Stuff towels in cracks and under doors to prevent
heat loss. Cover windows with blankets at night. Stay nourished and
hydrated so your body can produce its own heat.

DID
YOU KNOW . . .
Most
laptops are not designed to handle extreme temperatures. A laptop exposed to
extremely cold temperatures may cause the liquid crystal display to permanently
freeze or the hard drive to fail due to thermal expansion.
·
What to
do if you find your laptop exposed to extreme cold: The best remedy for a laptop exposed to extreme
cold is a slow warm-up. Most
manufacturers recommend that you do not attempt power-up for at least thirty
minutes to several hours. To be safe,
don't attempt power-up for four to six hours after exposure to cold. In extreme cases, below 0° F for an extended
period of time, it is recommended that you wait as long as eighteen hours
before power-up.
·
What
not to do if you find your laptop exposed to extreme cold: The worst thing to do is immediately power up your
laptop when bringing it in from the cold.
This will likely produce condensation, resulting in water damage and the
potential to short out the entire unit.
Running the laptop without letting it warm to room temperature might
also run the risk of cracking the LCD screen and/or damaging the hard drive.
Today, we live surrounded by
security items and devices; such apparels are becoming part of our everyday
urban landscape. Nobody wishes to ever having to use any of those protection
products – but to know they are there “just in case”, that
should be everyone’s concern.
Have a good week,
The Safer
