Here are a few more tips…
Keep track of the storm as it develops.
If there is an outage:
Turn off lights and appliances.
Leave one light switch on so you’ll know when your power is back on.
Use flashlights instead of candles.
Keep your freezer and refrigerator doors closed and open them only when it is necessary.
Never use a gas range, indoor cooker, charcoal or gas barbeque for heating.
Close curtains and drapes to keep the heat in.
Wear warm clothes in layers.
If the indoor temperature drops to 55 degrees or below, open your faucets so there is a constant drip to prevent pipes from freezing.
