Many cities are using social media to reach out to residents and help them prepare for the winter storm, including Port Clinton where Schools are closed for Thursday and Friday.
In a Facebook post, Mayor Mike Snider reflected on his memories of the Blizzard of 1978. While he was only 6 at the time, Snider said there are some commonsense lessons that stick with him to this day that communities can keep in mind for this latest round of winter weather.
“If your power goes out, put everybody in one room, put as much clothing on. If you can close the door to try to keep that body heat trapped inside the house,” Snider said. “The more people that that call their local electric provider, the easier it is for them to identify where the problem is.” In case of any emergency, Port Clinton’s police, EMS and volunteer fire department will be available to help. The street department has also organized into two 12-hour shifts to plow.“This is going to be something where we may run out of space to put the snow and then we need to keep the emergency routes open first. Obviously, get to the side streets as soon as we can.”
