● Please charge up all communication devices prior to the storm so that you are in good communication should the power go out temporarily.
● Be a good neighbor and if you’re concerned about an elderly or otherwise vulnerable person(s) please check in on them; any issues or concerns please call 911.
● Be aware that we have no control over Mother Nature or the loss of power/cable services. Most service providers will post updates on-line or via your account contact information. 
● Please refrain from using the emergency maintenance to report an outage.
● Although these situations can be stressful; snow storms can be fun for a while so stock up on food and necessities, bring out the blankets and stay safe.
● Open the cupboards below the sink in the kitchen and bathroom to prevent freezing.
● Have both sinks on a very slow drip to prevent freezing pipes.
● (Recommended) Leave your thermostat at 65 degrees.

● Do not use propane heat or camp stoves in the apartment. They may be good in the woods but a potential disaster in apartment homes.
