Stay Informed: Monitor weather forecasts and updates from reliable sources. Be aware of blizzard warnings and advisories issued by the National Weather Service.

Prepare an Emergency Kit: Have a well-stocked emergency kit that includes food, water, blankets, a flashlight, batteries, a first-aid kit, and essential medications.

Keep Warm: Wear layers, wear a hat and gloves, and use insulated, waterproof boots. Keep your home heated and well-insulated.

Stay Inside: If the blizzard intensifies, stay indoors and close curtains or blinds to insulate against cold drafts. Conserve heat and energy.

Prepare for Power Outages: Charge mobile devices with backup heating sources, like a generator or alternative heating methods.

Stay Connected: Maintain communication with neighbors and loved ones. Check on vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly or those with special needs.
