Winter Storm Preparedness: Please Plan Ahead!

A period of very cold temperatures and significant snowfall is expected this weekend, Auburn. City crews are preparing, and we ask residents to take a few steps now to stay safe and help things run smoothly:

Before the storm:

* Stock up on essentials (food, medications, pet supplies).

* Charge phones and devices in case of power outages.

* Bring pets indoors and check on neighbors.

During the storm:

* Avoid unnecessary travel once snow begins - just stay home.

* Give plow trucks plenty of space and be patient.

* Dress in layers and limit time outdoors in extreme cold.

* Watch closely for signs of hypothermia, frostbite, or CO2 poisoning.

Learn more.
