Your home is your first line of defense for shelter.

Prepare Your Home for Cold Weather

• Disconnect and drain garden hoses
• Insulate outside faucets and backflow devices
• Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas such as crawl spaces, garage, and attic
• Locate your main shutoff and be sure that you can shutoff the water
• If temperatures are very cold then let one or more faucets drip to prevent water from freezing in the pipes
