I f
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.
but be
careful.
You can run
the engine
to
keep warr~,
111
CAUT’olv
Snow can trap exhaust
gases
under
your
vehicle.
This
can
cause deadly
CO
(carbon
monoxide)
gas to get
inside.
CO
could
overcome
you
and
kill
you.
You can’t
see
it
or
smell it,
so
you
might
not
know
it
was
in
your
vehicle.
Clear
away
snow
from
around the base
of
your
vehicle,
especially
any that is
blocking
your
exhaust
pipe.
And
check
around
again
from
time
to time to be sure
snow
doesn’t
collect
there.
Open
a
window
just
a
little
on the
side
of
the vehicle
that’s
away
from
the wind.
This
will
help
keep
CO
out.
