following:
- Clear driveways, sidewalks, and walkways of snow and
ice.
- Clear snow from areas around furnace vents to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Make sure generators are properly vented and are being used according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Go to a shelter if you do not have heat or power in your home. For a list of shelters in the area, click this link.
