As colder air moves into Alabama this weekend, some areas could see freezing rain, snow or ice. We understand how disruptive winter weather can be when it arrives suddenly, and we care about helping you stay safe and prepared. Taking time to prepare now is important, as ice and snow can weigh down tree branches and power lines, sometimes causing them to fall.
Prep early
📱Charge devices: Phones, tablets and battery packs so you can stay connected
🎒Check supplies: Blankets, warm clothing, essential medications, bottled water and 2–3 days of shelf-stable food
🔥Plan for safe heating: Use only heating sources designed for indoor use with proper ventilation — never use grills, generators or fuel-burning heaters indoors
❗️Generator safety: Never operate generators indoors or connect them to your home’s wiring
đźš—If you may need to drive: Keep an emergency supply kit in your car
🌳Clear outdoor hazards: Secure loose items and park vehicles away from trees or power lines when possible
When winter weather hits
❗️Stay away from downed lines: Ice can weigh down tree limbs and power lines, causing them to fall
đźš—Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary: roads may be slick and hazardous
⚠️Carbon monoxide safety: Never use grills, gas stoves or ovens to heat your home; make sure CO detectors are working
