NOW is the time to prepare for severe winter weather despite warm temps outside

<article499801">It may not feel like it outside but winter snow storms are coming and SERVPRO wants to make sure you’re prepared for the worst. This is the time to get ready. Too many people wait until the last minute to stock up on needed winter weather supplies.   For those of you who are native Idahoans you know what is coming but still there are many who are ill-prepared for it. When it is warmer outside nobody is thinking about ice melt. But help you when we first get a half-of-inch of ice you can’t buy it because it’s all sold out. But just as important is to prepare a 72 hour emergency kit to get you through a large snowstorm or - lets hope not- an ice storm that takes out the electricity for a few days.   When ice is forming it overcomes the trees we have and the branches fall and the power lines fall so then we are without power. We’re also dealing with ice on the road. If you’re on a well, you need to store water somewhere, but you need to have warm clothing, you need to have blankets, flashlights, and maybe an alternative source of heat. It is also a good idea to check your heaters and generators and stock up on extra fuel for those heating sources. Last but not least keep the SERVPRO emergency number close at hand to help you through any home disasters that may hit
