A
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:
0
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.
