Plan ahead for winter traveling:          Plan ahead for winter storms at home:

Inside your home or other building:

• Stay inside. When using alternative heat from a fireplace, wood stove, space heater, etc., use fire safeguards and properly ventilate to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless and odorless!
  
• If you have no heat: Close off unneeded rooms. Stuff towels or rags in the cracks under doors. Cover windows at night.
  
• Eat and drink. Food provides the body with energy for producing its own heat. Keep the body replenished with fluids to prevent dehydration.
  
• Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. Remove layers to avoid overheating, perspiration and subsequent chill.
