When inclement weather hits, remain calm, but take immediate action.
- Know how to get to a safe place quickly if a weather warning is issued. Develop a plan for you and your family at home, work, school and when outdoors.
- Check on neighbors who require special assistance: infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Don't forget to plan for your pets and/or livestock!
- Alert your utility if someone in your family uses life-support equipment.
- Avoid all downed power lines and assume they are live with electricity.
