The winter months have arrived in Framingham and it is important to prepare ahead. Here are some great winter storm safety tips for you: 

• Learn how to protect pipes from freezing: Check your home heating sources are correct with local codes and permit requirements.
• Make sure your home is properly insulated: Check Caulk and weather-strip doors, and windows, to keep cold air out. 
• Heating options: Consider buying emergency heating equipment, such as a wood-burning stove or kerosene heater. 
• Fireplace: Keep a supply of firewood handy. Be sure the fireplace is properly vented and in good working order before using it. 
• Flooding: Consider purchasing flood insurance, if you live in a flood-prone area.
• Emergency Kit: Check your emergency kit and replenish any items that may have been expired or are missing. 

A winter storm can hit at any time, and sometimes a business might not even be prepared for it. These are some tips to keep handy should the need arise.
