City Of Pflugerville: Prepare For Winter Weather

Press release from the City of Pflugerville:

12/17/2021 6:59 PM

Before winter weather arrives, make sure you’ve prepared your home, vehicle and family for emergency situations.

Prepare an emergency kit

Make sure to prepare an emergency kit for your home and car, or if you already have one, refresh any expired items. Adjust your kit to your needs, but we recommend for your home: 

Where should you keep this kit? Make sure it’s in a dry, easily accessible place everyone in your home knows about.

Prepare your home

Make sure your home is prepared to be a safe and effective shelter during cold weather.

Prepare for a power outage

Did you buy a generator after last winter? Make sure it’s fueled and you know how to set it up properly. Keep all generators outside at least 20 feet away from doors, windows and vents to avoid accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.

If your power does go out, make sure to keep your freezer and refrigerator closed, do not use a gas stove to heat your home, disconnect appliances and electronics to avoid damage from electrical surges and stay tuned to local officials for warming centers.

For resources during an emergency, make sure you’re connected with the City of Pflugerville now. Follow us on Facebook @PflugervilleTX, on Twitter @PflugervilleTX and text PfPD to 888777 for text alerts from Nixle.
