Cold Weather Tips

Whether you live in Lake Tahoe, have a second home or are preparing for a fabulous winter vacation, it’s never too late to prepare for our unpredictable weather.

IDENTIFY YOUR DRIVEWAY
Clear today . . . snow tomorrow. Shortly thereafter, the snowplows will be performing their magic. Don’t wait until the last moment to identify the parameters of your Lake Tahoe driveway. Firmly install tall poles with reflector lights (for night snow removal) on the outside of your driveway edges. This will help the snow plow operator to know where not to deposit snow build-up. And definitely – DO NOT PARK IN THE STREET during snow removal.

ICE (IN CASE OF EMERGENCY)
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call.
Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this “ICE” (In Case of Emergency)Campaign
The concept of “ICE” is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you n need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name “ICE” (In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as “ICE”.
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
Be sure it’s in your kid’s cell phones also…..
