• Develop an action plan. First of all, you need to elaborate a safety plan that describes immediate steps in case of any emergency (bad road conditions, snowdrifts, ice-covered ground, snowstorm, blizzard etc.). Use task management software to develop your plan and create worksheets.
• Set reminder for key tasks in your plan to remember about important and necessary activities.
• Use Internet to find and investigate snow-closure guidelines for employees, schools and daycare centers. This will help you make your plan more complete.
• Share copies of the plan. Once created, the plan should be shared between members of your family. Make sure every person understands the plan, is familiar with precautions and knows what immediate steps to take in case of emergency.
