How do you keep yourself safe from snowstorm?

Answer 1

• First you get all the things you need. A SAFE SOURCE of heat, LOTS of water, canned foods, cooking and eating utensils, dry foods (snacks), a plastic tarp for a water barrier, a couple ofsleeping bags and also a candle. A good book with which to pass the time is nice addition. If you are sheltering indoors, you may to bring along a shovel so that in case the door gets stuck under all the snow, you can dig yourself out. A cellphone, two-way radio, and an AM-FM radio, preferably with a weather station are also advisable. Some people like to keep of a journal of their 'adventures'.

Answer 2

Stay inside. If you cannot get inside a heated building, get into any enclosed space, such as a car. If you have to stay in a space without heat, provide as much heat as you can either by packing many people into the space (the human body provides a lot of heat) or by lighting a candle. A candle throws off a surprising amount of heat.

If you are in the bush away from human structures, you should burrow a hole in the snow or huddle under an evergreen tree whose branches will provide shelter from snow and wind.

If you must be outside, wear as many clothes as you can find. Multiple layers of clothes trap heat inside them and keep out the wind. Cover as much exposed skin as you can with clothing to keep out the wind. If you need to sleep, sleep on branches or piles of snow, not on the bare ground.

Snowstorms are not dangerous unless you are outside in them improperly dressed, or try to get around when visibility is poor or nonexistent. You need to find shelter and wait the storm out.
