EXTREME DANGER
- Prolonged exposure could cause damage to exposed skin in 30 minutes or less.
- The cold air will also impact young livestock and pets.
- Snow and blowing snow will make travel dangerous.
- The weight of too much snow may compromise some roofs of homes and businesses.
BE PREPARED
Your home:
- Energy companies (electric & natural gas) are asking customers to keep thermostats around 60-65 degrees in order to prevent blackouts.
- Move vehicles away from edge of house where snow and ice can fall and damage it.
The 4 “P”s:
- People – check on your neighbors, family and friends to make sure they have power and their home is stable.
- Pets – it’s too cold outside for animals. Bring them in the garage.
- Pipes – let your water drip on the inside faucets and cover your outside faucets with Styrofoam covers or towels or t-shirts to protect your pipes from bursting.
- Plants – you’ve probably already taken care of these, but normally, you should cover plants or bring them inside.
Only travel in an emergency. If you must travel:
- check IDriveArkansas for the highway conditions
- have your phone charged,
- keep a flashlight,
- food,
- water,
- extra clothing,
- blankets and
- kitty litter to be used for freeing your tires from a slippery spot.
