... How to protect your property...

November 8th through the 14th is winter weather awareness week in
West Virginia. Be ready for Winters worst. Here are some steps you
can take to make sure your home is ready for winter:

Make sure your home is properly insulated. If necessary... insulate
walls and the attic. Install storm windows or cover windows with
plastic from the inside.

To keep pipes from freezing... wrap pipes in insulation. In extreme
cold... let faucets drip a little to avoid freezing. Know how to shut
off water valves.

Consider safe alternatives for heating your home such as a fireplace
with an ample supply of wood or a small well vented wood or Coal
stove with fuel. If you use a portable space heater or kerosene
heater... check with your local Fire Department on the legality of
using kerosene heaters. Use only the correct fuel and follow all
safety precautions.

In all cases when using alternative heat sources... use fire
safeguards and ventilate properly. Fire hazard is greatly increased
in the winter because alternative heating sources are used without
proper safety precautions.

Being prepared for emergencies is up to you.
