Community Emergency Planning in NYC - A Toolkit for Community Leaders

WINTER WEATHER RESPONSE

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

• Do not to travel on roads except when necessary. Give sanitation and emergency workers space on the road.

• Avoid overexertion when shoveling.

• Assist neighbors with clearing their property.

• Clear hydrants of snow so that they are visible to the fire department.

• Anyone who sees a homeless individual or family out in the cold should call 311 and an outreach team will assist them.
