How to Prepare for Disasters in Freezing Temperatures
Disasters that occur in freezing temperatures present their own set of dangers that differ from other disasters. This is because in freezing temperatures frostbite, hypothermia, and death can set in within minutes of exposing the body to such extreme temperatures.
Other dangers such as iced-over and snow-covered, slippery roadways exist, which increases the rate of accidents. Fire disasters in homes and businesses also increase during freezing temperatures because of greater use of fireplaces, and portable heaters. Old furnaces and furnaces with dirty filters can cause disaster fires, and also fill structures with poisonous carbon monoxide fumes which can cause death. Frozen lakes and rivers can cause drowning disasters when the ice breaks, and the sudden submerging of someone into freezing water, quickly leads to hypothermia and drowning before anyone can reach them to help.
Prepare yourself for disasters in freezing temperatures with some preplanning. Make sure your home is insulated well to protect against the extremes of freezing temperatures. Make sure walls and attic have adequate insulation for protection. Check doors and windows in your home and replace caulking and weather stripping where needed. Place storm windows on the outside of your home or use plastic sheeting to insulate windows from the inside. Have your chimney cleaned and inspected before use in winter and freezing temperatures. Place protective insulation around water pipes situated against outer walls. Make sure your snow blower is working. Keep de-icing salt on hand to melt ice from steps, walkways, and drives to prevent slip and fall disasters and severe injuries. Place an outdoor thermometer near a window so you can see it from indoors to know when temperatures dip dangerously low. During a freezing temperature disaster, stay inside your home. Do not open exterior doors and windows to conserve the heat you have in your home. Wear thermal clothing, layered with cotton clothing to keep warm. Have plenty of packaged foods that need no cooking for eating and have a supply of drinking water, and prescription medications as well.
Prepare your car for disasters in freezing weather so that you can survive even if stranded on the roadside for a period of time because of an accident or because the roads are not passable. Fill the reservoirs for your antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid, and oil. Completely fill your gas tank and keep it filled. You may also consider adding an ice preventive to your fuel tank to prevent the fuel line from freezing. Install winter tires on your car for better traction and control of your vehicle on slippery roads. Make sure that your brakes, exhaust, lights, emergency lamps, radiator, heater, and defroster all work. Keep these items in your car as preparation for a disaster in freezing temperatures while in your car. Emergency flares for summoning help. A survival pack that includes the following: drinking water, (heat from your heater can defrost frozen water enough for you to drink). Bread, crackers, and energy bars to provide your body with the fuel to help keep your temperature up. Thermal socks and thermal clothing, a cold weather rated sleeping bag and thermal-insulated blankets. Fist aid materials and paper toweling. Tools, snow shovel, ice scraper. Chains, ropes, tire sealant, salt, and kitty litter to help melt ice and provide you with enough traction to get your vehicle back on the road, flashlights, car battery charger, and battery powered radio. It is helpful to carry a cellphone so that you could contact help in a disaster in freezing temperatures.
If you are stranded in your car during a disaster in freezing temperatures, stay put. You will be more visible to passing emergency crews in your care than away from it in whiteout conditions. Staying in your car also protects you should another vehicle slide off the roadway and into your car. Put on the thermal clothing and climb into the cold-weather rated sleeping bag and cover yourself with a thermal-insulated blanket to keep as warm as possible until help arrives. Place a sign in your window alerting emergency crews that you need help or raise the hood of your car. For heating, do not run your car for more than 10 minutes an hour and do not run your heater when the engine is not running as this will drain your battery. Make sure your exhaust pipes are cleared of snow so that carbon monoxide isn’t backing up inside the care where it can make you violently ill or even cause death. Crack a window to ensure that you are getting some cleaner air to breathe. Move your body and extremities every so often to keep the blood circulating properly.
Remain calm by breathing harder and taking more cold air into your body will lower your temperature. You also need to keep your wits about you so that you can spot emergency crews before they reach you and send out a signal to let them know exactly where you are. Use your head, plan ahead for dealing with disasters in freezing temperatures and hold onto the fact that spring will be here before you know it.

Drymax Socks Maximum Protection Running Mini Crew Sock - White/Orange $28.95 Blisters on the feet are the most common sports injury and seem inevitable when running ultra long distances. Drymax Maximum Protection Running socks were designed to prevent blisters during triathlons, marathons and ultra-long distance runs. In addition, they will help people who are just prone to getting blisters. Maximum Protection Running socks are made using the patented Blister Guard system. This system incorporates Friction Free Profilen fibers throughout the entire foot area of the sock. Profilen's chemical name is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has the lowest Coefficient of Friction of any solid material. This scientific approach keeps feet dry and the friction between the skin and sock low. Runners who wear Maximum Protection Running socks will have cooler, drier, more comfortable feet, because of the top mesh air panels which release heat and sweat vapor out of the top of the sock and shoe, while significantly lowering the chance of getting blisters. Maximum Protection Running socks also provides active odor control with MicroZap antimicrobial and long lasting durability. |

Drymax Socks Cold Weather Running Crew Sock (2 Pairs) - Red $30.45 In cold or freezing temperatures, moisture is the skin's worst enemy. Moisture pulls heat away from the skin 23 times faster than air, and can reduce skin temperature so rapidly that wet feet feel painfully cold. The Drymax Cold Weather Running Socks have a special Dual Layer Moisture Removal System. This system instantly moves moisture from the skin, through the inner Drymax layer to the outer absorbent layer, keeping feet dry. Staying dry is critical to remaining warm and comfortable in cold weather. Drymax is the least thermally conductive fiber. This means Drymax fibers keep feet warmer because they draw less heat away from the skin. Cold Weather Running socks are knit with Hollow Core polyester fibers on the outside to increase the insulation factor. Due to the wind chill factor, the front part of the leg tends to get the coldest; therefore a third layer of Drymax fiber insulation was added along the leading edge of the sock. The Cold Weather Running Sock is a High Density protective padded sock. Dense padding is used as opposed to thick padding, as it protects feet without adversely affecting the fit of the shoes. Cold Weather Running Socks were designed for use in cold to cool conditions, keeping feet dry, comfortable and odor free. Includes 2 pairs of socks. |

Drymax Socks Trail Running 1/4 Crew High Sock (3 Pairs) - Grey/Orange $32.95 Most trail running socks are simply dark colored running socks with no specific "trail" features built-in. The Drymax Trail Running socks are the exception. Trail dirt inside a sock is a bad thing; it can easily cause blisters or rib the skin raw. To help prevent dirt from getting inside Drymax Trail socks, we did not include vents. In addition, the Trail socks' double welted leg has extra padding around the ankle. This extra padding protects the leg, and seals the top of the shoe to keep out dirt and debris. Wet feet can be a trail runner's worst enemy, and getting wet feet is almost inevitable. The Drymax Trail Running socks' Dual Layer Moisture Elimination System actually removes sweat, sweat vapors, and water from the skin through the inner Drymax layer to the outer absorbent layer. The double welt top is made of Drymax fibers to repel water, so when a runner splashes through a creek, the top of the socks stay dry. Drymax Trail Running Socks are a Medium+ Density protective padded sock. Dense padding is used, as opposed to thick padding, as it protects feet without adversely affecting the fit of the shoes. The Trail Running Socks were designed for use to be used in cool to warm conditions, keeping feet dry, comfortable and odor free all day long. Available Colors: Black/Orange, Grey/Orange. |

Drymax Socks Hot Weather Running Mini Crew Sock (2 Pairs) - White/Blue $33.45 To keep feet cooler while running in hot weather many people like to run in the thinnest sock possible. Thin socks unfortunately provide little protection from hot spots and blisters. Running in hot weather feet quickly get hot and perspire, causing socks to become wet. Moisture significantly increases friction (stickiness) between socks and skin. The higher the friction, the hotter the feet and the greater the chance of getting blisters. Higher friction limits skin surface movement, but still allows inner tissue movement. This shearing effect physically separates the two layers which fill with fluid forming a blister. Drymax Hot Weather Running socks keep feet dry and prevent hot spots and blisters because they are made using the patented Blister Guard system. This system incorporates Friction Free Profilen fibers throughout the entire foot area of the sock. Profilen's chemical name is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has the lowest Coefficient of Friction of any solid material. This scientific approach keeps feet dry and the friction between the skin and sock low. Runners wearing our Hot Weather Running socks will have cooler, drier, more comfortable feet with far less chance of getting blisters. Hot Weather Running socks also have top mesh panels and bottom air vents designed to keep feet drier and cooler by working with the built-in vent systems in the new generation of breathable running shoes. |

The Trail Running Socks were designed for use to be used in cool to warm conditions, keeping feet dry, comfortable and odor free all day long. Because Drymax socks stay dry, the skin stays dry too; therefore blisters normally caused by sweat or sweat vapor are prevented. The special fibers used in our Drymax Socks have a comfortable springiness and do not get stiff, shrink or lose shape over time. They are designed to last a long time using the highest quality fibers, and abrasion resistant nylon fiber reinforcements in the normal wear areas. |
