Winter Storm Tip: Avoid Indoor Alternative Heating Sources

If you lose power, avoid using alternative heating sources indoors unless they’re specifically designed for indoor use. Improper indoor heating can increase the risk of dangerous fumes and fire hazards.

Also, remember to check on neighbors—especially older adults, families with small children, and anyone who may need extra help staying warm.

Why Winter Preparation Matters in the Sandhills

Winter storms don’t just bring slick roads—they can stress home heating systems and trigger unexpected outages. A few small steps now can help protect your home and family:

    • Charge devices and keep flashlights and batteries accessible.

    • Set aside blankets and warm layers in case of an outage.

    • Know where your main power shutoff is and keep pathways clear.

    • Check on friends and neighbors who may need assistance.
