Are you prepared for the next winter storm? Don’t wait for one to hit your area to start getting ready. Here are some things to think about to help you be better prepared for the worst winter has to offer.

Check your emergency kit to make sure that all the necessities are still there. Just because you are at home during a storm, doesn’t mean you might not need some extra supplies. If you don’t currently have a kit, you might want to take this opportunity to go get one. Remember to include all the basic things that you will be needing if a storm prevents you from leaving your home, such as:

- Food and a non-electric can opener.
- Enough water for both drinking and cooking.
- Medication, plus a chart of when each medication is taken if prescription.

Radio and television can be a good medium for this, but the Internet is also a prime place to look if you require immediate details.

A final thing to think about when preparing you and your loved ones for a winter storm is clothing. Make sure to bring extra clothes that are appropriate for winter weather, even if you are just going on a short car ride. You never know when you may have to leave your car after an accident or some other unforeseeable event. Dressing in layers, with the outer layers consisting of water and wind repelling materials is a good idea. Also, depending on the occasion, it can be very important not to forget appropriate footwear.
