Empowering Communities, Celebrating Minnesota Locally

Winter Hazard Awareness Week Concludes Today in Minnesota

Winter Hazard Awareness Week allows Minnesotan’s an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the hazards we face each winter season. 

Friday’s topic covers Winter Driving. It is important to ensure that your vehicle has been serviced and is ready to take on the cold weather. A winter survival kit included in your vehicle could be the difference between life and death, in some situations. A winter survival kit should include a bag/container to store food and water, a flashlight, candles, matches, a blanket, and a distress sign to display in the window of your vehicle.

You can get additional weather information by visiting the National Weather Service website.
