Prepare to spring forward
When daylight savings time changes, it is a good time go
through a home checklist to be sure your home is safe:
-Change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon
monoxide alarms.
-Perform a pressure check on fire extinguishers and replace
if necessary. See www.fire-extinguisher101.com/careandmaintenance.html
.
-Check your home emergency stockpile (supplies such as food,
water and batteries). If you don’t have a stockpile, take some time to create
one. See www.getreadyforflu.org/clocksstocks/
.
-Re-familiarize yourself and your family with your
community’s emergency preparedness plan. See www.bereadyiowa.org/
-Update your family communication plan outlining how to get
in touch with one another during an emergency.
National
Weather Service predicting minor to moderate flooding
The
National Weather Service is predicting minor to moderate flooding in many areas
of the state. However, water levels shouldn’t come near the levels we saw in
1993 or 2008. The IDPH Flood Web page has been updated with new fact sheets and
information at www.idph.state.ia.us/EmergencyResponse/Flooding.aspx
