The storm has passed — now comes the hard part: cleanup and clearing out.
Shoveling snow can be physically demanding and significantly increases the risk of cardiac arrest, especially during heavy or wet snow.
Tips from the Chief of the Fort Lee Volunteer Ambulance Corps:
✔️Take frequent breaks
✔️Pace yourself — don’t rush
✔️Push snow when possible
instead of lifting
✔️Stop immediately if you feel
chest pain, shortness of breath,
fatigue, nausea or dizziness
Your safety comes first. Please don’t overexert yourself, and check on neighbors who may need help. If you need medical assistance, please dial 9-1-1 immediately.
Let’s recover safely, Fort Lee.
