Keeping Safe From Heavy Snow And Winter Threats

At home, icicles can form due to the rain and frozen outlook. The plumbing system can be affected. Before removing any snow or icicles, people should be extra careful due to slippery grounds or roofs.

Furthermore, people should store emergency kits inside their houses, including flashlights, medicine kits, food, bottled packs and winter clothes. Having emergency plans can save families from injuries and death.

Pets are also at risk in winter. Homeowners should update their pets' information. Always close the door inside your homes, and never let pets roam around in snow or cold weather.
