Our mission is to provide the highest quality pre-hospital care.
Before you hit the roads
Let your family or friends know your destination, your primary and alternate routes, and when you expect to arrive. If your vehicle gets stuck along the way, help can be sent along your predetermined route.
Pay attention to the weather forecast. Your local TV and radio stations can provide updated storm information that can help you avoid treacherous weather.
Motorists should also be cautious about animals on the highway. Stay alert for deer-crossing signs.If you are stranded
Stranded drivers should stay with the vehicle and not try to walk to safety. You can quickly become disoriented in wind-driven snow and run the risk of developing hypothermia and frostbite.
Exercise your arms and legs to maintain body heat.
Change out of wet clothing, using dry replacements from your supplies kit to prevent hypothermia.
Use the heater for 10 minutes every hour and leave the overhead light on when the engine is running so you can be seen.
Keep the exhaust pipe clear so fumes won't back up in the vehicle
Make it easier for rescuers to find you by tying a brightly colored cloth to the antenna
After the snow has subsided, raise the hood to indicate you need help.
