While we still have plenty of snow and we still have to take precautions when traveling things are getting back to normal. Schools are open, trash pick up back on regular schedule, and all city facilities up and running. Now is the time to look back and consider what you would have done differently in preparing for the snowfall. Did you have enough food for the duration of the storm? Did you park your car in a location that enabled you to get to it out easily? Did your cold weather clothes work well in blizzard conditions? Did your snow shovel serve you well? Did you have rock salt on hand? Did you know who to call if you needed assistance? Did you know where to find out information about road conditions, etc.? The key to survival in any emergency or severe weather conditions is preparation. Take a few minutes to review the preparation information available at the https://ready.northwildwood.com website and then do what we call a gap analysis to see where we are at and where we want to be in terms of preparation and make a plan to fill the gap.

If you haven’t followed the Office of Emergency Management on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NWEmergencyManagement/ you might want to consider it because Facebook is often updated more frequently than the READY website.
