Some Reminders...

• As with any emergency, maintain a minimum three day supply of food and medication for your family and any family pets.
• Check on your neighbors, especially elderly or shut-in neighbors.
• Keep a snow shovel and a container of sand in the trunk of your car and in your garage or home.
• Only drive if it's essential, or take the bus if you must go somewhere. Intercity Transit makes every effort to keep buses running on primary routes.

• When the snow begins to melt, help prevent localized flooding - help clear snow and debris from storm drains. Visit our Flooding and Erosion page for more information.
