If
You’re Caught in
a
Blizzard
If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be
in
a
serious situation.
You
should probably stay with your
vehicle unless
you know for sure that you are near help
and
you
can hike through the snow. Here are some
things to do to summon help and keep yourself and your
passengers safe:
~~~ ~~ ~~
Turn on
your
hazard flashers.
Tie a red cloth
to
your vehicle to alert police that
you’ve been stopped by the snow.
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.
Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
