Top Tips to Be Safe as Louisiana Braces for a Historic Winter and Snowstorm
Louisiana is bracing for an unusual and potentially historic winter storm [https://apnews.com/article/us-extreme-cold-winter-storm-snow-3e9c316297191ca53f1ef26de8f9b9f4], with temperatures expected to drop below freezing and a high likelihood of snow and ice. Governor Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency [https://www.cenlanow.com/news/state-news/gov-landry-issues-state-of-emergency-ahead-of-statewide-extreme-cold-forecast/], and the National Weather Service in New Orleans is urging residents to prepare. Many schools and local government offices have preemptively closed in anticipation of the severe weather.
To help you stay safe during this rare winter event, here are the top 10 safety tips:
1. Stay Informed
Keep up with the latest weather updates through reliable sources like the National Weather Service. Being informed will help you make timely decisions regarding travel and safety.
2. Dress in Layers
Wear multiple layers of clothing to retain body heat. Ensure that extremities like hands, feet, and the head are well-covered to prevent frostbite.
3. Protect Your Pets
Bring pets indoors during extreme cold. If they must go outside, limit their exposure and watch for signs of hypothermia, such as shivering or lethargy.
4. Prepare Your Home
*
Insulate Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes to prevent freezing and potential bursts.
*
Drip Faucets: Allow faucets to drip slowly to keep water moving and reduce freezing risk.
*
Open Cabinets: Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing.
5. Use Heaters Safely
If using space heaters, keep them on a flat, stable surface away from flammable materials. Never leave them unattended; ensure your home has working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
6. Limit Travel
Avoid unnecessary travel during the storm. If you must drive, reduce speed, increase the following distance, and keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, including blankets, food, water, and a flashlight.
7. Prepare for Power Outages
Charge all essential electronic devices in advance. Have flashlights, extra batteries, and a battery-powered radio on hand. Avoid using generators indoors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
8. Check on Vulnerable Individuals
Reach out to elderly neighbors, relatives, or those with special needs to ensure they have adequate warmth and supplies. Offer assistance as needed.
9. Protect Plants
Bring potted plants indoors. Cover outdoor plants with blankets or cloths to shield them from freezing temperatures.
10. Safeguard Your Roof
Accumulated snow and ice can add significant weight to your roof, leading to potential damage. Use a roof rake to gently remove snow and stand on the ground to avoid injury. Inspect your roof for ice dams, which can prevent melting snow from draining and cause leaks. If you're unsure about the safety of your roof, consult a professional.
