Winter Storm Safety

The library may be closed due to weather conditions

Caught off-guard by a winter storm? No worries! Here’s a quick guide for those who aren’t used to harsh winter conditions. Let's keep you safe and warm!

Pay attention to local storm warning.

  • Guidelines for staying safe.

When travel is restricted to emergencies only

  • Don't travel.

Wind chill is real!

  • Can cause hypothermia
  • Bundle up and stay home.

Stay Indoors

  • Limit your exposure to the cold. Stay inside unless absolutely necessary.



Other things you can do:

In case of power outage:

  • Use flashlights instead of candles to prevent fire hazards. Keep your phone charged and have a battery-powered radio handy for updates.

Close Off Unused Rooms

  • To conserve heat, shut doors to unused rooms and stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors.

Layer Up

  • Wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight clothing instead of one layer of heavy clothing. Don’t forget your hat and gloves!

Keep Dry

  • Stay as dry as possible. Wet clothing loses insulation, causing the body to lose heat more rapidly.

Use Curtains Wisely

  • Open curtains during the day to let sunlight in and close them at night to retain heat.

Exercise Caution with Heating

  • If using alternative heating sources like a fireplace, make sure it’s ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never use stoves or ovens as heaters.

Stay Hydrated

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Drink water to stay hydrated.

Power Outage Prep

  • If you lose power, use flashlights instead of candles to prevent fire hazards. Keep your phone charged and have a battery-powered radio handy for updates.

Check On Neighbors

  • If it’s safe, check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors who might need help.
