We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in St. Louis County.

Our local team in Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties responds to storm damage emergencies every winter. Hermantown averages 73 inches of snow per year and 39.9 days when the nighttime low temperature falls below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Due to these extreme temperatures, frostbit and hypothermia are real dangers to residents. Here is some information about frostbite and hypothermia from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA):

• Frostbite causes loss of feeling and color around the face, fingers, and toes.
• Signs: Numbness, white or grayish-yellow skin, firm or waxy skin.
• Actions: Go to a warm room. Soak in warm water. Use body heat to warm. Do not massage or use a heating pad.
• Hypothermia is an unusually low body temperature. A temperature below 95 degrees is an emergency.
• Signs: Shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech, or drowsiness.
• Actions: Go to a warm room. Warm the center of the body first—chest, neck, head, and groin. Keep dry and wrapped up in warm blankets, including the head and neck.
