Ohio’s Winter Safety Awareness

The Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management (CCOEM) would like to remind all residents to prepare their homes, schools, businesses and communities for the upcoming months of potential severe winter weather. Snow and ice storms, flooding from rapid thaws, extended power outages caused by winter storms, and illnesses caused by hypothermia or influenza are more likely to occur during the winter months.

Cuyahoga County residents can prepare for winter hazards by updating their preparedness kits; preparing emergency plans and contact lists; updating flood insurance policies, purchasing NOAA weather radios; investing in alternative heat source and generators; and wintering their vehicles. To help ensure the community is prepared, CCOEM is providing winter preparedness fact sheets (below). Additional preparedness tips and information can be found at ReadyCuyahoga.
