ICE STORM TIPS

Did you know that Ice storms were caused by freezing rain and that ice storms usually happen between December & January?

Well we’re here to tips to keep you prepared!

1. Ice can increase the weight of branches by 30 times so if you have any branches hanging low or near your home be sure to have them trimmed.
2. Reserve heat: Many power lines go down during ice storms so to keep heat in a room put towels under your door and stay in that room as much as possible.
3. Cover your windows: heat can also escape from your windows so put up blankets to keep the heat in.
4. Keep an emergency kit: have batteries, charged batteries for your phone, and a old radio to be able to keep up with the news in the case of a power outage.
