Protect Your Pipes
In the rare event of a freeze, protect your pipes by insulating them. If temperatures drop significantly, let faucets drip to prevent pipes from freezing.
Winterizing Plants
Cover sensitive plants or bring them indoors during frost warnings. Protecting your plants can prevent damage from cold temperatures.
Heating Safety
If using space heaters, follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents. Ensure that heating systems are in good working order to keep your home warm.
Emergency Kit
Keep an emergency kit with essentials such as non-perishable food, water, medications, flashlights, and blankets. In case of power outages, having a backup power source or generator can be helpful.
Pet Care
If you have pets, bring them indoors during extremely cold weather. Provide them with warm bedding and access to shelter.
Remember that winter weather in Texas can be unpredictable, so it’s essential to stay informed, know and plan your Winter storm resources, and be prepared for various conditions.
