If You’re Caught in a Blizzard
If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a serious
situation. You should probably stay with your vehicle unless
you know for sure that you are near help and you can hike
through the snow. Here are some things to do to summon
help and keep yourself and your passengers safe:
Turn on your hazard flashers.
Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that
you’ve been stopped by the snow.
Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
If you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body
insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor
mats
-- anything you can wrap around yourself or
tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful.
