Emergency management officals encourage residents to be mindful of the following safety issues as they begin recovery from the storm:

• Make sure your vehicles’ exhaust pipes are clear of ice and snow to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Avoid walking under awnings and other light weight canopies.
• Make sure you have more than one exterior door unblocked so that you can get out in case of emergency.
• Watch for overhanging snow and ice that may become dislodged and fall suddenly.
• If you live near fire hydrants, clear them so they are visible and accessible to emergency responders.
• Clear a path to storm drains to avoid flooding when the snow starts to melt.
