Emergency Preparedness and Response

Winter Weather Safety

This winter, you can take steps to be ready for severe weather. Winter storms can lead to dangerous travel conditions and power failures. The following tips can help keep you and your family safe:

  • Monitor the weather so you can plan ahead to limit your time outside.
  • Stay off icy or snowy roads when possible.
  • Wear appropriate clothing to prevent hypothermia and frostbite.
  • Keep an emergency kit in your car.
  • Replace worn tires and check tire air pressure.
  • Keep your gas tank full.

Learn more about winter weather safety, and take a look at a Winter Storm Preparedness Checklist to make sure you are ready for storms.

The Douglas County Health Department’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Division (EPR) works with many local, regional, and state partners to plan and prepare for public health emergencies. EPR staff focus on planning, training, and exercising the response to public health emergencies like pandemics, bioterrorism events, and natural disasters. Staff integrates an all-hazards approach to planning and exercise functions to remain agile and swift with hazard identification, mitigation, and response. We embrace proactive collaboration with partners, peers, and public elements in all of our processes.

The EPR division supports families in all stages of life in preparing for emergencies. Older adults can learn more about how to prepare for disaster using the FEMA Disaster Preparedness Guide for Older Adults. Parents and caregivers can help children understand and prepare for emergencies with downloadable Prepare with Pedro games and activity books.
