Preparing Your Home and Family for a Severe Snowstorm
If you live in an area that is prone to heavy snowfall, you may already have some experience with severe winter weather. Winter snowstorms can create hazardous road conditions, bring down power lines and delay public transportation. In some cases, a severe storm may even make it near impossible for you to leave your home. To help to keep your family safe during a snowstorm, it’s important for you to be prepared. Getting your home and family ready for a severe snowstorm does not have to be a difficult task, and can be easily accomplished by following these simple steps.
Step 1 – Watch the News. One of the best ways for you to prepare for a winter snowstorm is to be adequately informed about the weather. As long as you have electricity in your home, be sure to get updates on any winter storms that will be affecting your area. Some storms can change in severity over the course of a few hours, so it’s essential that keep up to date with any changes in the weather forecast.
Step 2 – Organize a Family Meeting. Before a snowstorm, it’s important for you to make a general “Disaster Plan” with your family. This may involve educating your children about where to meet in an emergency, or giving other members of your family instructions how to handle being stranded during a snowstorm. In addition to this, it’s also essential that you inform your family in advance of any severe winter storms predicted for your area. This can help you to keep all members of your family at home, and may also make the storm much less scary for younger children.
Step 3 – Gather General Supplies. Before a snowstorm hits your area, it’s important that you stock up on a few essential supplies. This can help ensure that if your family does become “snowed in”, you will be able to be comfortable until the storm has subsided. Though this is not a comprehensive list, some of the items that you will want to have on hand are:
...D-Link now has thingamajigs that will remotely monitor your house for security ...
And now D-Link is in the home security business. The company, of whose router I bought several months ago and fight to use on a daily basis (seriously, the Internet just cuts out at times… what are you gonna do?), has just announced a series of home monitoring devices, including the Home Monitoring Starter Kit ($149). One device plugs into your router, and then you place a series of wireless motion sensors around the house in strategic areas (doors, windows, etc.). The sensors then send alert the device, which can then text message you, send you an e-mail, etc. something like, “Hey, the kids are home.”
Of course, all of the data is remotely accessible via a special Web site D-Link has set up at mydlink.com.
There’s also Home Energy Monitoring Starter Kit ($99). Once all set up, you can remotely control the various devices in your home. Left the TV on? The PC? You get the idea.
