Recovery
What to do After the Winter Storm:
Make certain your family and neighbors are OK. If anyone needs special or emergency assistance, please be aware of what to do and whom to contact.
Before going outside, check your local news to determine if it is safe. Find out about road closures and businesses which may also be closed.
Many of us want to go outside to start shoveling the snow from our property. Be aware of overexertion that can occur. Unfortunately, people have been known to die from heart attacks from shoveling heavy snow. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has some great information on snow shoveling safety.
Check inside and outside of your home for any damage to your property. If you determine damage, take photos and contact your insurance company if necessary.
