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.
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.
