Browndale Fire Company is promoting winter preparedness and encouraging their residents to take action to prepare for winter weather. The fire company is committed to supporting winter preparedness. Winter storms can occur anywhere and bring freezing rain, ice, snow, high winds, or a combination of all these conditions. Winter weather can knock out heat, power, and communications services to your home or office, sometimes for days at a time. Heavy snowfall and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region. Being prepared for winter weather can decrease your risk.
Our entire Community can act against the upcoming winter weather this season by:
• Winterizing your Emergency Supply Kit.
• Planning how to communicate with family and friends with an Emergency Communication
Plan.
• And knowing how to receive important weather information and updates, including signing-
up for regional weather alerts.
