Winter storm: How to prepare for possible outages, flooding, burst pipes in days to come
Posted: Dec. 22, 2022 6:07PMWith many on Vancouver Island still digging out from the last dump of snow, people are being told how to prepare for. More snow, freezing rain, and warming weather could all pose serious problems in the days ahead.
“We’ve already got some snow still in the trees and this extra moisture it’s a recipe for some damage to our system,” said spokesperson Ted Olynyk. Make sure you have a well-stocked emergency kit with water, flashlight, batteries, and non-perishable food to last at least 72 hours. If you come across a downed power line you should keep 10 metres away, or about the length of a bus.
“The temperature is looking to warm very quickly going into Christmas and then lots of rain next week. So flooding and drainage issues are definitely going to be a primary concern. Here at the public works yard we do have sandbags and sand available if that is an issue, please bring your own shovel,” said David Thompson, Manager of Roads and Traffic for the City of Nanaimo.
