❄️❗️❄️❗️WINTER STORM WARNING VAN ZANDT COUNTY ❄️❗️❄️

🔴⚪️🔵PRESS RELEASE REGARDING UPCOMING WEATHER EVENT🔴⚪️🔵

From Sheriff Kevin Bridger.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/151Dr7zhb8/

The Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office is aware of the possibility of incoming freezing temperatures along with snow and rain. We want to make sure that all our citizens are safe and have the emergency services they need.
Sheriff Bridger stated, “we are putting all deputies on call, in case the need arises for more emergency services. We are dedicated to your safety and will always commit to doing our best for you. It is my goal to ensure that Van Zandt County has the best response available for our citizens in need of law enforcement support.”
We ask that you stay home if possible. We also ask for your assistance in helping us keep you safe. Here are some tips from the National Weather Service:
Cold Weather Safety Tips
When you are outside, frostbite and hypothermia are possible, so you need to protect yourself.
1. Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing.
2. Wear a hat. Try to stay dry and out of the wind.
3. Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.
4. Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.
To keep pipes from freezing on an outside wall:
1. Let hot and cold-water trickle or drip at night from a faucet.
2. Open cabinet doors to allow more heat to get to un-insulated pipes under a sink or near an outer wall.
3. Make sure heat is left on and set no lower than 55 degrees.
4. If you plan to be away: (1) Have someone check your house daily to make sure the heat is still on to prevent freezing, or (2) drain and shut off the water system (except indoor sprinkler systems).
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a silent, deadly killer claiming about 1,000 lives each year in the United States.
1. Install a carbon monoxide detector.
2. NEVER run generators indoors.
3. Open a window slightly when using a kerosene heater and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. NEVER use a gas oven to heat your home.
5. If your heat goes out, you can keep warm indoors by closing off rooms you do not need, dressing in layers of lightweight clothing, and wearing a cap.
Wood-burning stoves, fireplaces and heaters:
1. Always keep a screen around an open flame.
2. NEVER use gasoline to start your fireplace.
3. NEVER burn charcoal indoors.
4. Do not close the damper when ashes are hot.
5. Use only safe sources of alternative heat such as a fireplace, small well-vented wood or coal stove or portable space heaters. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Animal and Pet Safety:
1. Bring pets inside
2. Provide shelter and fresh water
3. Keep salt away from paws
Vehicle Preparation:
1. Check your battery
2. Check your fluids (coolant, wiper fluid, oil, etc.)
3. Check your tires
4. Have jumper cables
5. Pack a blanket

Stay safe and stay warm, we’re here if you need us!
