With the incoming blizzard we want to provide some tips and reminders. Stay safe, stay warm, and look out for your neighbors.
Prepare an emergency kit: water, nonperishable food, flashlight, batteries, battery-powered radio, medications, first-aid kit, warm blankets.
Charge devices and keep portable chargers ready; have backup power for critical medical devices.
Stay informed: monitor local alerts, weather updates, and road conditions. Follow official guidance.
Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary.
Shovel safely: take breaks, use proper lifting technique, and ask for help if you have cardiac or respiratory risk.
Check on vulnerable neighbors, elderly, and pets.
If you are running a generator make sure it is a safe distance from the house. Never refuel it while it is hot or running.
Always assume a downed line it live and do not touch it.

Above all else remember we are here to help. If you need a fire department response call 911. The Somers Career Firefighters and the Somers Fire Department are increasing staffing for this event.
