Winter storm preparedness for the home: supplies, food and water, pets, backup heat, and a 72 hour plan¶

A winter storm can leave a household without power, heat, running water or safe roads for days. The people who cope best are not the ones with the most gear. They are the ones who decided in advance where to stay warm, how to get news, what to eat and drink, and when to leave if the house becomes unsafe.

This guide gives you a practical plan. It covers the supplies to keep at home, food and water, medicines and special needs, pets, backup heat and light, staying informed, protecting the house, and a 72 hour timeline from the first forecast to the day after the storm. For what to do during the event, see winter storm safety. For the general home kit, see kit urgence.

Waɗde ɗum jooni¶

1. Check the forecast and alerts from your national weather service (the National Weather Service in the United States, the Met Office in the United Kingdom, Environment and Climate Change Canada). Know the difference between a watch, which means conditions are possible, and a warning, which means they are expected or happening.
2. Make sure you have at least 3 days of food and water, and ideally more. A common guide is 4 liters (1 gallon) of water per person per day, for drinking and basic hygiene.
3. Charge phones, power banks and radios. Fill the car's fuel tank, and fetch medicines and any pet food you need.
4. Choose one room in the house to stay in if the heat fails, and set up blankets, a battery lamp and warm clothing there.
5. Test your smoke alarms and battery powered carbon monoxide alarms, and make a plan for safe heat. Never use a grill, camp stove or generator indoors.
6. Tell a neighbor or relative your plan, and check on those who live alone, are older, or have medical needs. If you must leave, go before the storm arrives, not during it. Call your local emergency number (911 in the United States and Canada, 112 across the European Union, 999 in the United Kingdom) only for emergencies. See limooje caɗtuɗe.

Know the risks in your area¶

Winter storms are not all alike. Heavy snow, ice, extreme cold, high wind and flooding from thaw each bring different problems. Look up the risks where you live, and plan for the worst case that is realistic.

Food and water¶

Water¶

Plan for at least 4 liters (1 gallon) per person per day, for 3 days, as a minimum. In cold climates and for people who are ill, breastfeeding or pregnant, plan for more. Store water in clean, food grade containers in a cool place, and rotate it every six to twelve months if it is not commercially bottled.

Fill clean bathtubs, pots and containers with water before the storm if you expect pipes to freeze or the supply to stop, and use this water for flushing and washing. If your supply is under a boil notice, see kisal ndiyam e notice boil.

If pipes freeze or burst, shut off the main supply at the valve, and read frozen pipes. Snow is not a safe drinking source unless melted and boiled for at least 1 minute, or treated, and it should never be taken from near roads or discolored areas.

Food¶

Choose food that needs no cooking or can be heated safely, that your household will eat, and that provides enough energy. In the cold, the body burns more calories, so do not skimp.

• Canned meat, fish, beans, soup, fruit and vegetables, with a manual can opener
• Peanut butter, nuts, seeds, granola bars, dried fruit and trail mix
• Crackers, bread, cereal, and shelf stable milk
• Ready to eat meals and shelf stable pouches
• Honey, sugar, chocolate and other energy foods
• Baby formula, baby food and food for special diets
• Instant coffee, tea, cocoa and powdered drinks to boost morale and warmth

See long term shelf stable food storage for bigger stockpiles.

Cooking without power¶

Do not cook with a charcoal grill, camp stove or any fuel burning device indoors. They cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Use a safe method such as eating cold food, or a camping stove used outdoors only. See emergency cooking indoors without power for what is and is not safe.

Keeping food safe¶

A closed refrigerator keeps food cold for about 4 hours, a full freezer for about 48 hours, and a half full freezer for about 24 hours. Group items together, keep doors shut, and put freezer packs or frozen water bottles in the fridge. Discard perishable food that has been above 4 degrees Celsius (40 degrees Fahrenheit) for more than 2 hours. When in doubt, throw it out. See spoiled food and fridge power outage.

Medicines, health and special needs¶

• Refill prescriptions before the storm, and keep a week or more of medicines on hand if your prescriber and insurer allow it.
• Keep a written list of medicines, doses, allergies, doctors and conditions. Keep a copy in your wallet or phone.
• Know which medicines need refrigeration and how to keep them cold. See temperature sensitive medications in a power outage.
• If you use oxygen, a ventilator, CPAP, a powered wheelchair, a feeding pump or dialysis, tell your utility and provider, and have a backup plan. See power outage for oxygen concentrators, ventilators and CPAP be insulin pump, CGM and dialysis patient disaster kit.
• Plan for babies. Keep formula, bottles, diapers, and warm clothes. See infant and toddler emergency go bag.
• For people with disabilities, plan how you will get information, move, and call for help. See hearing impaired, deaf and blind disaster preparedness be wheelchair and mobility device evacuation.

Pets and animals¶

Pets feel the cold, and many cannot survive long outdoors in freezing weather. Plan for them as you would for any family member.

• Bring pets inside before the storm. Short haired, small, old and young animals are at the greatest risk.
• Store at least 3 days of food, water and any medicines. Include a manual can opener if you use cans.
• Keep a carrier or crate, leash, harness and a recent photo, plus proof of vaccination and microchip details.
• Provide a warm bed off the floor, and blankets they can burrow into.
• Wipe paws after being outside, since salt and de-icers irritate and are poisonous if licked. Keep antifreeze and de-icing chemicals out of reach.

Backup heat¶

Heat is the main concern in a winter outage. The safest plan is a combination of insulation, one warm room, and a heat source that you know is safe, or a place to go.

Preserve heat¶

Choose a small interior room with few windows. Hang blankets over windows and doorways, block drafts under doors, and wear layers. Close off unused rooms. See keeping warm indoors during a multi day winter grid collapse.

Safe heat sources¶

• An electric space heater powered by a safe generator or battery system, used with the clearances described in space heater, fireplace and wood stove safety in an outage
• A properly installed and maintained wood stove or fireplace with a clean chimney, and seasoned wood stored in advance
• A heater approved for indoor use and used exactly as the label says, with ventilation and alarms
• A backup power station, which is quiet and makes no exhaust. See backup power station and solar generator sizing.

What never to use indoors¶

Never use a charcoal or gas grill, camp stove, gas oven or stove, patio heater, or generator inside the house, in a garage, on a porch or near windows. Carbon monoxide kills quickly and without warning. Install battery powered carbon monoxide alarms on every level and near sleeping areas. See carbon monoxide be generator safety.

Know when to leave¶

If the indoor temperature falls toward 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) and you cannot raise it safely, go somewhere warm. Choices include a friend or relative, a hotel, or a public warming center. Leave before roads become impassable, and tell someone where you are going. See hypothermia and frostbite for signs to watch for.

Stay informed¶

• Sign up for local emergency alerts from your city, county or national warning system. Many countries offer text or app alerts.
• Keep a battery or hand crank radio with weather band, and know your local radio stations.
• Follow your national weather service and local emergency management on their official channels. Treat rumors and unofficial posts with caution.
• Know your utility's outage reporting number and keep it on paper. Report outages, since utilities do not always know.
• Save emergency numbers, and see the limooje caɗtuɗe hello.
• Keep a printed local map and note shelters and warming centers.
• Agree on a family check in plan and an out of area contact whom everyone can message when local networks are busy.
• Save phone battery by lowering brightness, closing apps, and using low power mode. Send short texts instead of calling.
• If you do not use smartphones, ask a neighbor or the local authorities how they will pass on alerts.

See offline smartphone survival for ways to keep information available without a signal.

Protect the house¶

Do these before the storm if there is time, and ideally in autumn.

Pipeeji e ndiyam¶

• Insulate tuubaaji peeñɗi e nder cuuɗi dowri, nokkuuji gonɗi e ŋoral, garaaji e mahe yaasi.
