PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside. If you do not have heat in your home or lack shelter, you can call 211 or visit 211connectsalabama.org for assistance locating appropriate shelter from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.
