FEBRUARY 2019 BROOKFIELD PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PSAC) SAFETY MESSAGE

This month’s message concerns planning ahead for Winter weather events to avoid unpleasant consequences.  Regardless of your views about climate change, you will agree that this Winter started early and has been full of dramatic extremes of very cold and suddenly but briefly warm with considerable precipitation ranging from wet snow, dry snow, sleet and rain, sometimes freezing rain.  We urge you walk around your property and note all of the possible weaknesses and then consider what the best response would be if bad things happen.  Things such as:

  • Are all of my various vents free of snow and ice?
  • Do I have safe exits in case of fire?
  • Are all of my various detectors working with fresh batteries?
  • Do I have an adequate supply of sand, ice melter, roof rakes, etc.?
  • How am I warned of electrical or heating system failure when no one is home?
  • Have I tested my backup generator recently?
  • Are all of the occupants, guests and pets safe from snow and ice coming off the roofs without warning?

You will come up with your own list of vulnerabilities and hopefully implement safe solutions.
