As we continue to wait for this recent cold snap to pass, now is a good time to make sure you aren't caught unprepared this winter season.

     Cathy Werbowetzky, Emergency Planning Coordinator with the City, says it's generally a good idea to prepare an emergency kit in the event of being caught out in a winter storm.  Those kits should contain items such as candles, blankets, food, water, and a flashlight.
