Winter Weather Safety Tips from the Texas Division of Emergency Management 1) Winterize your home by insulating pipes near outside walls and by sealing leaks that might expose pipes to cold air. 2) Make sure that heating systems, fireplaces and wood stoves are clean, well ventilated and in good working condition. 3) Winterize your vehicle by checking wipers, tires, lights, and fluid levels. Lubricate door and trunk locks to avoid freezing. 4) Prepare a travel disaster supply kit containing food, drinking water, blankets, rain gear, extra clothing, flashlights with extra batteries, jumper cables and a first aid kit. People who plan to travel should keep their gas tank at least half full and should make alternative travel plans in case bad weather forces trip delays. Do not travel when such conditions threaten. Check on friends and family members whose health or age --- especially the very young and very old --- may put them at greater risk from cold weather or freezing temperatures. By planning ahead and paying careful attention to road and weather conditions, Texans can enjoy an accident free and safe winter. ...
