If
You’re
Caught in a Blizzard
If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a
serious situation.
You
should probably stay with your
vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help
and you can hike through the snow. Here are some
things to do to summon help and keep yourself and your
passengers safe:
Turn
on
your hazard flashers. Tie a red
cloth to your vehicle to alert police that you’ve been
stopped by the snow. Put on extra clothing or wrap a
blanket around
you.
If
you have no blankets or extra
clothing, make body insulators from newspapers, burlap
bags, rags, floor mats
--
anything you can wrap around
yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
You
can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful.
