🚨 BLIZZARD WARNING – Resident Safety Reminder 🚨
A Blizzard Warning is in effect for our area. Heavy snow, strong winds, and dangerous travel conditions are expected. Please stay home unless absolutely necessary.
As you clear snow, DO NOT forget these critical safety tips:
❄️ Keep Vents & Equipment Clear
Snow buildup can block exhaust systems and lead to dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) buildup inside your home.
Please make sure to clear snow away from:
Furnace vents
Hot water heater vents
Dryer vents
Gas meters & regulators
Generator exhaust outlets
✔️ Keep all vents clear at least 2–3 feet around and above the outlet.
✔️ Check them again after heavy snow or drifting.
🔥 Generator Safety
NEVER run a generator inside your home or garage — even if the garage door is open.
NEVER place generators near doors, windows, or vents.
Keep generators at least 20 feet away from your home with exhaust pointed away from the structure.
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and can be fatal within minutes.
🚗 Additional Safety Reminders
Remove snow from around fire hydrants if one is near your home.
Check on elderly neighbors and family members.
Take breaks often when shoveling heavy snow.
Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, and NEVER plug them into an extension cord.
Make sure you have working CO and smoke alarms.
If you experience dizziness, headache, nausea, or confusion — get outside to fresh air immediately and call 911.
Please stay safe, stay warm, and avoid unnecessary travel during this storm.
