COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio officials say the freak October
snowstorm in the Northeast was a lesson for Ohioans to start getting
ready for winter.
Executive Director Nancy Dragani with the Ohio
Emergency Management Agency says now is the time to winterize homes and
vehicles, before the first big snowfall hits the state.
Gov. John
Kasich has declared this week Ohio’s Winter Safety Awareness
Week. Officials say homes, schools, businesses and organizations should
review safety plans and stock disaster supply kits to prepare for the
possibility of snow and ice storms that can cause lengthy power outages.
Dragani says in a statement that families should store several days’
worth of food and water.
Last month’s storm along the East Coast left millions of people in the dark, some for over a week.
