Winter Weather Preparedness
The Amarillo/Potter/Randall Office of Emergency Management, Red Cross, and FEMA urge you to have enough supplies to sustain you and your family for 72-hours in the event of power outages due to an ice event or heavy snowstorm. You should always take weather reports seriously and make sure you and your family are prepared for the worst. Winter storms can often be more severe than predicted, so it is a good idea to check your home and emergency supplies as soon as you hear of a potential winter storm warning.
AT HOME OR WORK MAKE SURE YOU HAVE:
- Flashlights, battery-operated lantern, battery-operated touch lights...
- Batteries
- Battery powered NOAA All-Hazard Radio, radio, or TV to get up to date information
- Extra food, water, medicine, and baby items
- First aid supplies
- Heating fuel (propane, kerosene, fuel oil, etc...) & camp stoves
- Emergency heating source
IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUT AND ABOUT:
- Keep a disaster kit in your car with items such as: blanket, flashlight, extra food & water, shovel
- Keep your car's gas tank full
- Wear several layers of loose fitting clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing & wear a hat
