For Emergencies Dial:
9-1-1
Winter
Awareness Week in Wisconsin
November 7-11, 2011
Are you
ready for winter? If not, you better get started, because here
it comes!
Stay Informed. Be aware of weather conditions this winter.
Go to the National
Weather Service Website to learn what it means when you hear
"Watch", "Warning", or "Advisory".
Get a Kit.
Prepare some
essential items to get you by for a short time if you experience
an emergency. Kits are easy to put together and keep in your
home or your car.
Drive Safe.
Be careful on those roads, especially during the first snowfall.
Just a small amount of snow or ice can make traveling very
dangerous. Check the 511
WI Website for current road conditions.
Protect
Yourself. Know the hazards that winter presents. Cover
up to prevent frostbite. Do not strain yourself when moving
snow. And don't forget about pets during the colder months...
they're part of the family too.
For much more information
about winter preparedness, go to the
Ready Wisconsin Website.
There, you will find many more tips, history of Wisconsin winters,
and information about what to include in your winter emergency kit.
