  Prepare for Winter Weather

  In Illinois, winter weather is inevitable. Knowing what to do before a winter storm strikes can provide peace of mind and ultimately impact how well we respond and recover from any winter storm. To help Illinois residents be prepared for winter weather, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and National Weather Service (NWS) developed a Winter Weather Preparedness Guide to help families prepare for extreme cold, snow and ice.

With more people staying home, working and learning remotely, this peace of mind is priceless. A simple home test is an inexpensive and easy way to know if you and your family is at risk of exposure.
