When you\u2019re prepared, a crisis becomes manageable. Here are our top eight tips to be ready for storms and illness this winter. (These tips are optional and may not apply to you.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Get Vaccinated<\/strong>: If you are eligible, you may choose to get a flu and\/or COVID-19 vaccination. This protects not only yourself from suffering, but also the people around you who cannot be vaccinated. You can find vaccinations at your doctor\u2019s office, some pharmacies, or check out: Immunizations | Salt Lake County<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stay Up-to-Date<\/strong>: Download the FEMA app to stay up to date on incoming storms and emergencies FEMA Mobile Products | FEMA.gov<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Build an Emergency Kit<\/strong>: Keep 5 days of water, food, medications for your family and pets in case of being snowed in, serious illness, or power outages. See Food in Kits | Be Ready Utah<\/a> for more information building a small supply of easy access food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Keep Winter Gear in Your Car<\/strong>: Always have winter boots, coats, gloves, a small or collapsible shovel and rock salt in your car in case you get stuck in the snow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Prep Your Vehicle:<\/strong> Before the first snow storm, switch to winter tires, top off antifreeze and windshield fluid, and keep\u00a0 your gas tank at least half full.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Stay Warm: <\/strong>Keep blankets and non-electric heaters on hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Use Generators and Fireplaces Safely<\/strong>: Never operate fuel-powered generators or camping equipment indoors. Avoid using gas appliances like your oven, stove, or dryer for heating your home. Open the vents in your fireplace before lighting a fire. Misuse can cause carbon-monoxide poisoning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Insulate:<\/strong> Cover windows with clear plastic during the day and with curtains or blankets at night to keep the heat in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
