The regional chapter of the American Red Cross recently spearheaded emergency relief services in the aftermath of winter storm Uri. In February 2021, winter storm Uri brought Arctic temperatures and historic snowfall to large swathes of the country. To inform the public on how to stay safe in these conditions, the Red Cross posted an informative guide on safety precautions to follow during a winter storm. The most effective tip is to be prepared.

Heavy snow can knock down power lines and block roads, so buying an extra generator and stocking up on heating fuel and nonperishable food is essential. Frigid temperatures can cause severe conditions such as frostbite or hyperthermia. People who need to go outdoors should dress in several layers and cover their heads, mouths, and hands. Many people also become injured or even experience heart attacks from shoveling. It is important to stretch before starting any strenuous activities and to work at a moderate pace.
