Be ready for Ice Storms in St. Clair Shores, MI

To avoid damage from a potential ice storm, you need to prepare ahead of time.

In case you're stuck at home for several days make sure you have enough non-perishable food and any supplies you may need including water, a cooler with ice and any necessary prescriptions. If you have canned foods, make sure you have a manual can opener.

It is always a good idea to have flashlights, batteries and candles on hand in case you lose power. And keep the doors to the refrigerator and freezer closed to help them retain colder temperatures.

Keep you cell phone charged, and If possible, have a secondary source of heat.

You should also have a first-aid kit, some cash and have your vehicle filled with gas, according to FEMA. 

If you have trees near your home, prune branches or remove trees that are too close before the ice storm to avoid the potential of falling trees or limbs on your home.
