Based on the types of problems and incidents the District
has experienced during recent winters, we sent out a brochure
to our district members covering many key points of Winter
Emergency Preparedness and Home Safety Reminders.
You can view it here (in PDF format):

Winter Emergency Preparedness Planning and Safety Reminders
We have just a few copies of the brochure left. If you are
a district resident but did not receive your copy, you are
welcome to email us
with your name and snail mail address and we will send you
one (subject to current availability).
Printing Notes: This small brochure is formatted
for printing in "landscape" layout and on two sides
of 8-and-1/2 by 11-inch paper, for a total of two double-sided
pages that can then be folded at the centers. The material
on Road Preparation (pages 2 and 3) and General Home Safety
Reminders (pages 7 and 8) should go together when reading.
Pages 4 and 5, with the Emergency Preparedness Checklist,
should be placed in the center.
To print for this result, on the first sheet of
paper, make sure that Page 2 (where Preparedness on the Road
begins) prints on the reverse of Page 1 (with the cover graphic);
Page 7 (the rest of General Home Safety Reminders) will then
be on the reverse of Page 8 (the mail address page). On the
second sheet, Page 3 (the rest of Preparedness on the Road,
starting with "Before Winter travel...") will need
to be on the reverse of Page 4 (the beginning of the Checklist),
while Page 6 (the beginning of General Winter Home Safety
Reminders) prints on the reverse of Page 5 (the rest of the
Checklist).
