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:
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.

Turn on your hazard flashers.
You
can
run
the
engine
to
keep
warm,
but
be
careful.
