Turn on your hazard flashers.
0
Tie
a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that
you’ve been stopped by the snow.
0
Put on extra clothing
or
wrap
a
blanket around you.
If
you have
no
blankets or extra clothing, make body
insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor
mats
--
anything you can wrap around yourself
or
tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
You can run the engine to keep warm, but
be
careful.
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly
CO
(carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside.
CO
could overcome you and kill
you.
You
can’t see
it
or smell
it,
so
you might not
know
it
is
in your vehicle. Clear away
snow
from
around the base of your vehicle, especially any
that is blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time to be sure snow
doesn’t collect there.
Open a window just a little on the side of the
vehicle that’s away from the wind. This will help
keep
CO
out.
