If you work, live or travel where the winter months may bring harsh conditions you know the impact winter weather can have. A winter storm can be scary, or worse, life-threatening. It’s important to be prepared.

Don’t get caught in a winter storm without taking a few moments to plan for the unexpected. 

Here are 5 things you can do now to prepare yourself for a winter storm.

  1. Check Your Emergency Kit: Make sure your emergency kit and communications plan are up to date. If you don’t have one, now’s the time to make one! Check out our Family Preparedness Guide here or on the Family Preparedness page.
  2. Prepare Your Home: Ensure your home is stocked with supplies and items you’ll need in case you’re without power or unable to leave for several days. And don’t forget the needs of your pets!
  3. Prepare Your Car. Create an Emergency Roadside Kit. If you can, stay off the roads timed to a storm. If you do have to drive, ensuring you have the right supplies in your car can make all the difference if you become stranded.
  4. Get to Know Your Office Safety Resources: If you need to be at the office, be sure you know who can help in case you’re unable to leave. Contact Security at your location in the U.S. via phone or email for more details on emergency supplies and support available at your office.
  5. Sign Up for WBD Alerts: Make sure your information is up to date in WBD Alerts, the company's emergency notification system. In a winter storm, you may receive a WBD Alert due to office closures, power outages or other real-time developments in an effort to keep you safe and informed.
