INDIANA – Hoosiers don’t know what weather will hit this week but there is still time to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
“Snowfall can be a beautiful dreamland but can turn into a nightmare if you are not ready,” said Roger
Axe, Director, of Greene County Emergency Management Agency. “Also, if there is no bad weather you won’t lose what you have spent you will have it for consumption. We are advising that you take stock and have plenty of the following on hand; food, fuel vehicle and home, medication, necessary household supplies.”
In addition, Axe warns you to get your errands completed before Wednesday night if the snow starts so you won’t have to travel if the snow comes. If you don’t have to get out, stay home so you not only put yourself at risk but
the rescue responders if you would have trouble traveling.
“If we get the extreme cold of the weekend, consider keeping a small stream of water running in a sink to keep your pipes from freezing. Don’t forget gas line anti-freeze for your vehicles. Be especially careful about shoveling snow to avoid heart attacks.” he concluded.
