Extreme weather can happen during any season in Alberta. Are you prepared to take care of you and your family in case of an emergency?

In a winter storm or in extreme cold

• listen to your local radio, television or weather station for updated reports and emergency information
• eat regularly and drink ample fluids, but avoid caffeine and alcohol
• avoid overexertion when shovelling snow; overexertion can bring on a heart attack which is a major cause of death in the winter months. If you must shovel snow, stretch before going outside.
• watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia
• watch for updates on the winter roads webpage

What do I do in a

• thunder or lightning storm?
• tornado?
