From Sheriff David Charles:
We have a winter storm looming for this weekend. The Weather Service is scrambling to give us an accurate as possible forecast of what will occur and by all indicators it will be a serious event followed by frigid cold. You can use this forewarning to begin to make preparations, if the storm doesn’t hit us as hard as we think then you haven’t lost anything but if it is and you haven’t you may regret it.
Check to see if you have a week’s supply of medication. If you do run out of a critical medication we will deliver it to you through our emergency program.
Let your faucet drip a little to prevent pipes from freezing.
Check your foundation vents to see if they are closed.
Make sure livestock and pets are taken care of.
Keep in touch with your elderly friends and relatives.
Keep your phone charged.
Be extremely cautious if using supplemental heating sources. (The Fire Department can answer questions on the proper use of these and what to avoid)
Monitor social media for updates and road closures. When we ask for you to eliminate non-essential travel please do so.
County and City leaders are meeting , making preparations for this event. Our Office will be out in force and ready to respond to your emergencies.
