…This is Winter Weather Preparedness Week…

This week, November 11th through November 17th, is Winter Weather Preparedness week in Illinois and Indiana.

Are you weather ready? Take time to prepare yourself and your family for the coming winter months. Throughout this week, helpful information will be available from federal, state, and local agencies, disaster relief organizations, and public safety groups.

Make sure you have plenty of non-perishable food, drinking water, a battery powered weather radio and portable AM/FM radio, flashlights, medication and a first aid kit. Also, have a plan for warmth and safety in case you lose power and heat. Create a kit for each vehicle you have with many of the same items but include extra clothing, blankets, a tow rope, jumper cables, sand or cat litter, and basic tools.

The Chicago National Weather Service office will issue daily Public Information Statements that will contain the following information:

Monday: Winter Hazards Tuesday: Outdoor Safety Wednesday: Winter Preparedness Thursday: Winter Fire Safety Friday: Winter Weather Travel Safety Saturday: Winter Weather Reporting

Winter weather information will be on NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts, National Weather Service websites, and National Weather Service Facebook and Twitter pages. For more information contact your local emergency management agency or visit www.ready.illinois.gov or www.in.gov/dhs.
