From the State of Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, Wisconsin Emergency Management:
Motorists are advised of dangerous conditions this weekend
(Madison) Motorists need to be ready for another winter storm that will hit much of Wisconsin on Sunday bringing freezing rain and heavy snow. Motorists are advised to stay home but if you need to drive, please take the following precautions. Assemble a disaster supply kit for your vehicle. Items include:
· A full tank of gas
· Blankets or sleeping bags
· Extra warm and protective clothing
· Water and nonperishable food such as energy bars
· Portable radio, flashlight and extra batteries
· Flares and a large, brightly colored piece of cloth
· A cell phone
If you become stuck:
· Stay with your car. Don’t try to walk to safety.
· Tie a brightly colored cloth to the car where others can see.
· Start the car and use the heater for about 10 minutes every hour. Keep the exhaust pipe clear.
· Leave the overhead light on when the engine is running so you can be seen.
· As you sit, keep moving your arms and legs to keep blood circulating and to stay warm.
· Keep one window slightly open, away from the blowing wind, to let in air.
Also before you leave home, notify a friend or family member about your travel plans and when you expect to arrive at your destination. Keep them informed about where you are at and when you have arrived safely. Make sure you have a cell phone with you.
