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.
e
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.
