Winter storm safety and hypothermia information

From Mike Keltner, Director
Adair Co. Emergency Management

Keep ahead of winter storms by preparing ahead:
  • Check battery powered equipment before the storm arrives. A portable radio or television set may be your only way to receive information.

  • Check your food stock and extra supplies. Your supply should include food that requires no cooking or refrigeration in case of power failure.

  • Stay indoors during storms unless you are in peak physical condition. If you must go out, avoid overexertion.

  • Shoveling snow is extremely hard work for anyone in less than prime physical condition, and can bring on a heart attack, a major cause of death during and after winter storms.

The Science of Windchill



2022-12-22 - Kentucky - Photo courtesy Mike Keltner, Adair Co. Emergency Management. The National Weather Service in Louisville offers these tips for the extreme cold weather on the way tonight and this weekend:
  • Limit your time outside. If you need to go outside, wear layers of warm clothing. Watch for signs of hypothermia.
  • Hypothermia is an unusually low body temperature. A temperature below 95 degrees is an emergency.
Actions:
  • Go to a warm room
  • Warm the center of the body first--chest, neck, head and groin
  • Keep dry and wrapped up in warm blankets, including the head and neck.
