What Are Some Smart Winter Storm Preparation Tips For My Attica Apartment?

Winter storms are challenging due to the cold temperatures they bring, whether you live in a single-family home or an apartment. As a renter, you won’t have the concerns about property damage that a homeowner will have, of course, but you still need to prepare for cold weather and power failures.

How Do You Prepare For A Winter Storm In Attica?

Here are some ways you can stay safe and comfortable during severe weather:

• Store blankets and other heat-generating materials for use during a winter storm. If you have extra blankets, coats, an emergency phone charger, and non-perishable food, you’ll stay warm and comfortable during a winter storm, even if your power goes out. 
• Weatherstripping is sealing your windows and doors around the cracks to regulate the interior temperature and keep the cold air outside.  
• Research the best small generators; winter storms often bring with them an array of other issues, such as precipitation and wind, which can easily down power lines causing you to lose your heat sources and appliances. Having a generator ready to go in an emergency will help you save any foodstuffs that can spoil, for example.

What Are Some Items To Have In Your Emergency Car Kit In Case You Must Travel? 

It is best to stay off the roads as much as possible, but have an emergency car kit if you must travel. This can include:

• A shovel
• Windshield scraper
• Battery-powered radio with additional batteries 
• Cell phone (extra batteries and a portable charger) 
• Road maps
• Tire chains
• Tow chains
• Rope
• Coats
• Blankets 
• Non-perishable food items
• Potable water for drinking
