When the Weather Outside Is Frightful
By Pat Wood

Many people may snuggle up in front of a warm fireplace when winter weather hits, but others may have fewer options.

Perhaps they have no fireplace, maybe not even a place at all if they are homeless.

Or maybe they have a house, but what if they don’t have enough money to pay the heating bill, what with the rise in the price of oil?

Whether we are rich or poor or somewhere in between, government resources and information online may help us say, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. We’re prepared, we’re prepared, we’re prepared."

These government webpages will help you and your communities get prepared for winter.
