A severe cold wave is approaching much of the country, coupled with a heavy winter storm. We want to make sure you stay safe and that your property is protected during the upcoming extreme temperatures.

BE SAFE
Stay indoors during severe weather to avoid frostbite, hypothermia, or accidents caused by icy conditions. Limit travel, and if driving is necessary, check road conditions and alerts at National Weather Service. Protect yourself from cold by wearing layered clothing, hats, and gloves to retain heat and prevent exposure. Use heating devices safely, ensuring proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Prevention tips can be found at CDC Winter Safety.

GET HELP
Report power outages to your utility company and seek updates on restoration timelines. Document any storm-related damage for insurance claims using World's claims page. Access recovery resources offered by local and federal programs, including FEMA Winter Storm Assistance.

Please take immediate action to prevent weather-related damage.

Check Heating Oil Levels: Ensure your tank levels are adequate during the extreme weather.

As temperatures fall below freezing:
Keep the Heat On: Maintain your thermostat at a minimum temperature of 65°F, even if you will be away.

Staying proactive during this extreme cold weather event can prevent damage and keep your home safe.
