❄️ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: GET READY FOR WINTER, FRANKLIN COUNTY ❄️
Winter weather hits a little differently when you live in rural Franklin County.
Snow and ice can mean blocked driveways, difficult back roads, frozen pipes, power outages and longer emergency response times.
Don't wait until the forecast calls for a major storm to start preparing.

SAVE THIS NUMBER IN YOUR PHONE NOW!
Bald K**b Community Outreach now has a dedicated Outreach Response Line to give our community a direct way to reach us when someone needs assistance, needs help finding a resource, or knows about a neighbor who may need someone to check on them.
You do not have to wait until a winter storm arrives to call us.
☎️ 502-913-3114
🏠 GET READY NOW
• Check your primary heat source.
• If you use propane, heating oil, wood or pellets, make sure you have an adequate supply.
• Disconnect outdoor hoses and protect exposed pipes.
• Know where your main water shutoff is located.
• Keep flashlights, batteries, blankets and emergency supplies accessible.
• Keep several days of food and drinking water available.
• Make sure necessary medications are filled.
• Charge phones, power banks and backup batteries.
• Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• NEVER operate a generator, grill or outdoor heater inside your home or garage.
🚗 PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE
Keep a blanket, gloves, winter hat, flashlight, phone charger, water, snacks, ice scraper, jumper cables, small shovel and first-aid kit in your vehicle.
If road conditions are dangerous and you don't absolutely have to travel — stay home.
❤️ BALD K**B COMMUNITY OUTREACH — YOUR LOCAL RESOURCE
If you live in or around the rural Bald K**b community and winter weather puts you or someone you know in a difficult situation, reach out to us.
Depending on the situation, available volunteers and resources, we may be able to help with:
• Welfare checks on elderly, disabled or isolated neighbors
• Grocery and essential-supply pickup and delivery
• Connecting residents with available community resources
• Assistance accessing homes or driveways following significant snowfall
• Coordinating volunteers when neighbors need a helping hand
• Identifying urgent needs within our community and helping find a solution
If we can help, we will. If your need is outside what we can provide, we'll do our best to connect you with the right resource.

⚠️ DON'T WAIT FOR THE STORM
If you are elderly, disabled, homebound, live alone, don't have reliable transportation or know that winter weather could leave you isolated, call our Outreach Response Line before severe weather arrives.
Knowing who may need assistance ahead of time gives our volunteers a much better opportunity to prepare, coordinate resources and help.
