... Safety rules for winter storm warnings...
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued by your National Weather Service in North Dakota. The following safety rules should insure your survival.
A brief reminder... a warning means the storm is actually occurring or is imminent.
Do not venture out into the storm unless absolutely necessary. Most winter storm fatalities involved people who left a place of safety while the storm was in progress.
If you must go out... dress warmly. It is very important to keep your head... hands and feet protected. Most of the bodys heat is lost through the outer extremities... especially the head.
Avoid overexertion even if you are in good physical condition. It is hard work walking in heavy snow... high winds... and bitter cold wind chills... and blinding visibilities. Do not kill yourself shoveling snow.
If you are in your home... be very careful of starting fires. The Fire Department may not be able to get to you in stormy conditions.
On the Road... you should have winter survival gear in your vehicle. If stranded in the storm... stay in your vehicle. Run the engine sparingly to conserve fuel.
Circulate fresh air in the car by opening one of the windows slightly. Turn on the dome light at night. Maintain a continuous watch and do not let everyone in the vehicle sleep at the same time.
If you must get out of your vehicle during the storm... tie a lifeline to you and the vehicle.
Monitor the latest weather reports... if possible... and wait patiently for the storm to subside.
