o Recommended emergency supplies: food, water, flashlight, batteries, phone chargers, first aid kit, extra pet food, fire extinguisher, and extra blankets. Refill prescriptions before the storm if possible.

o Do not run generators/gas grills inside, they produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that will kill you. Do not use ovens and stoves to heat your home.

o Keep exhaust vents for natural gas appliances like water heaters, furnaces and fireplaces clear of snow and ice to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
