Welcome:
Mission Statement
To provide and ensure twenty-four hour exemplary Public Safety
Communications service for the citizens, communities, and public safety
responders of Lapeer County.

DURING A
WINTER STORM
At home:
·
To save heat,
close off unneeded rooms, cover windows at night and stuff towels or rags in
cracks under doors.
·
Maintain
adequate food and water intake. Food provides the body with energy for
producing its own heat.
If travel is necessary:
·
Inform someone of your destination and travel time. Take along a cell phone in
case you must call for help.
If traveling and the power goes out:
·
Use extreme caution when driving. If traffic signals are out, treat each signal
as a stop sign – come to a complete stop at every intersection and look before
you proceed.
·
Do not call 9-1-1 to ask about the power outage. Listen to news radio stations
for updates.
If stranded
in a vehicle:
·
Attach a
bright cloth to your antenna to attract attention and then remain in the
vehicle.
·
Run the motor
about 10 minutes each hour for heat. However, open the window slightly for
fresh air and make sure that the exhaust pipe isn't blocked.
·
Get attention
by turning on the dome light and emergency flashers when running the engine.
·
Exercise by
moving arms, legs, fingers and toes to keep blood circulating and to keep warm.
If stranded
outside:
·
Try to stay
dry and cover all exposed parts of the body.
·
Prepare a
windbreak or snow cave for protection from the wind. Build a fire for heat and
to attract attention.
·
Do not eat
snow. It will lower your body temperature. Melt it first.
ANYTIME
Listen for
All-Hazards NOAA Weather Radio or local radio, television and cable stations for
the latest updates on hazardous winter weather.
·
To ensure
uninterrupted weather information, make sure the NOAA Weather Radio or other
radio has a battery-operated backup and fresh batteries. A battery-operated TV
is another option.
·
For
All-Hazards NOAA Weather Radio information, including a station near you, see
the NOAA Weather Radio page on the Internet at
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr or contact your National Weather Service
office.
Know the difference between a winter storm WATCH
(conditions make the storm possible) and winter storm WARNING (the storm is
headed for your area). A blizzard WARNING means strong winds, blinding
wind-driven snow, and dangerous wind chill. Avoid driving and seek shelter.
