We received the following info. from Mike Keltner, Adair Co. Emergency Management Director.
Keep ahead of winter storms by preparing ahead. . .
- Check battery powered equipment before the storm arrives. A portable radio or television set may be your only way to receive information.
- Check your food stock and extra supplies. Your supply should include food that requires no cooking or refrigeration in case of power failure.
- Stay indoors during storms unless you are in peak physical condition. If you must go out, avoid overexertion.
- Shoveling snow is extremely hard work for anyone in less than prime physical condition, and can bring on a heart attack, a major cause of death during and after winter storms.
