As we prepare for another winter storm, once again it’s crucial to be prepared and stay safe. Reminder of key points to keep in mind:
– **Stay Informed**: Keep an eye on weather updates and alerts to know when the storm will hit and its severity.
– **Stock Up**: Make sure you have essential supplies, including food, water, medications, and batteries. Don’t forget to have warm clothing and blankets ready.
– **Prepare Your Home**: Check that your heating system is working efficiently and insulate any exposed pipes to prevent freezing.
– **Emergency Kit**: Have a fully stocked emergency kit with flashlights, a first-aid kit, and a portable phone charger.
– **Travel Safely**: If you must travel, ensure your vehicle is winter-ready with proper tires and a full gas tank. Heavy snow will take some time to clear. Carry an emergency car kit with blankets, food, and water.
– **Check on Neighbors**: Ensure elderly or vulnerable neighbors are safe and have what they need.
Being prepared can make all the difference. Let’s stay safe and look out for one another during this winter storm. 
Make sure anyone on Oxygen has a extra supply on hand.
