Winter Emergency Preparedness

The middle of a major snow or ice storm is not the time to prepare for it.  Preparing for the possibility of a snow storm during the Fall months will pay off when the snowflakes from that first big snowstorm are beginning to fall.  Please check out the resources listed below.
