❄️ Severe Winter Weather Advisory ❄️

As another round of winter weather moves across our region, forecasted sub-zero temperatures, snow, and strong winds are expected to impact parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia.

▪️Use space heaters with caution and keep them away from flammable items
▪️Never use grills, ovens, or generators indoors

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Community Care
▪️Check on family, neighbors, and those with medical needs
▪️Ensure everyone has adequate shelter and supplies

🐾 Pets
▪️Bring pets indoors when possible
▪️Provide warm shelter, food, and unfrozen water

🚗 Road Safety
▪️Snow is expected to stick, increasing the risk of icy roads
▪️Avoid unnecessary travel when possible
▪️If driving is essential, slow down and allow extra space

Please also remember to practice patience with first responders. Our EMS teams and public safety partners are working hard to respond as quickly as possible, while prioritizing safety in challenging road conditions.

Taking small steps now helps keep our communities safer through the weekend. Stay warm, stay safe, and look out for one another.

Slippery sidewalks? Channel your inner penguin. 🐧

If you have to walk on snow or ice, ditch the long strides and try the Penguin Walk to help prevent slips and falls:
✔️ Take small, shuffling steps
✔️ Keep your arms slightly out for balance
✔️ Walk flat-footed, not heel-to-toe
✔️ Lean slightly forward and go slow

It may not look graceful — but it works.

Stay safe, take it slow, and remember: when in doubt… waddle it out. 🐧

With snow and icy conditions expected in many areas this weekend, Priority Ambulance is urging drivers to take precautions to stay safe on icy roads. Even light snow or ice can significantly increase the risk of crashes, injuries, and emergency response delays.

Each year, winter weather contributes to more than 150,000 vehicle accidents and nearly 1,300 preventable deaths, with thousands more injured. These tragedies are avoidable with preparation and cautious driving.

Safety Tips for Drivers

Before you Drive:
▪️Remove all dirt, ice, and snow from vehicle sensors to ensure assistive driving features like automatic emergency braking work properly.
▪️Clean all external camera lenses and side mirrors.
▪️Check tires for adequate tread and traction.
▪️Ensure you have more than enough gas in your tank to make it to your destination.
▪️Fully charge all cellular phones to be able to make emergency phone calls if necessary.
▪️Plan for delays and possible road closures.

On the Road:
▪️Increase your following distance. Vehicles require more time to stop on icy or slushy roads.
▪️Avoid using cruise control.
▪️Accelerate and decelerate slowly.
▪️If you begin to slide, do not overcorrect; steer gently in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go.

While drivers are urged to stay home, Priority Ambulance crews remain fully staffed, equipped, and prepared to respond during severe weather. EMS teams are trained to continue to keep communities safe during winter’s worst, closely coordinating with local public safety partners.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. — and the enduring message of hope, compassion, and service that continues to inspire generations.

Dr. King reminded us that progress is built through kindness, understanding, and caring for one another. As healthcare professionals and first responders, those values guide us every day as we serve our communities with purpose and heart.

May today be a reminder to lead with empathy, choose unity, and keep dreaming of a better tomorrow for all. 💙
