BE PROACTIVE! The Importance of Winter Preparedness
Although municipalities also have a responsibility to keep government property like parks, federal buildings, and roadways clear from snow and icy debris, there is always a risk that you may be stuck on the road before plows can be deployed. As a result, make sure your car is prepared for slick and snowy roads. Equipping your car with appropriate snow tires, maintaining your brakes, keeping your windshields clear, and adopting reduced speeds in adverse conditions are essential measures to prevent accidents. These safe driving practices become paramount as winter weather can significantly alter road conditions in a short period of time. You should also consider stocking your vehicle with an emergency kit in case of an accident that leaves you stuck on the roads during inclement weather. Staying one step ahead of winter weather hazards can help you avoid injuries, both to yourself and others. While winter weather preparedness is the best tool to avoid a potentially life-changing injury, accidents can still happen.

Winter weather can be cold, harsh, and unforgiving — which is why it’s important to stay prepared for freezing temperatures and the elements that accompany them. From slippery sidewalks to snow-covered roads, the season demands a proactive approach to help prevent personal injuries from occurring. Winter hazards can manifest in a variety of forms that contribute to personal injuries, including car accidents or slips-and-falls. Preparation for these conditions is essential to ensure the safety of yourself and others. We all know that bundling up is the best way to protect ourselves from the cold winter weather, but did you know that choosing the right footwear can be crucial in protecting you from a potentially debilitating slip and fall accident? By choosing footwear with proper tread and ankle support, you can lessen your chances of slipping on snow-covered surfaces outdoors. Likewise, a supportive boot can prevent serious ankle injuries. If you are a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, you also have a responsibility to ensure your residence or place of business is clear of any potential hazards. You should make reasonable attempts to keep your property (and, yes, that generally includes sidewalks, too!) free of any ice or snow that could pose a danger to others. You can do so by keeping rock salt and a sturdy shovel on hand to combat pesky snow and ice. Interiors of businesses should also have weather mats and proper floor signage near high-traffic indoor areas where snow or ice tend to accumulate before melting.
