Cold Weather Advisory (January 6, 2025) - Dallas

Please be advised that Dallas and the surrounding areas expect hazardous cold temperatures from 01/05/25 to 01/12/25. A strong cold front will begin on Sunday, January 05, 2025, and may bring damaging winds, ice, and snow. Due to an arctic blast, the temperature is expected to drop to freezing temperatures on Monday night. Temperatures will continue to fall on Wednesday, 1/08/25, and Thursday, 1/09/25.

Please continue to monitor the weather forecast and take the appropriate precautions to ensure their safety during this time. Since severe weather or other emergencies may cause telephone and electrical outages, keep a battery-operated radio tuned to station WBAP 820 AM or KSCS 96.3 FM. This station will keep you informed every half hour of road conditions and business closures.

Now is an important time to prepare your car for safe travel in winter weather, as the safety of our clients and employees is our top priority. If the highway patrol determines that conditions are too hazardous for safe travel, we will close the office; however, our phone lines will remain open 24 hours a day for non-emergency situations. Please prepare yourself and your clients in case of any service interruptions due to inclement weather, and keep the agency informed of any such interruptions.

We encourage clients to start preparing now so that their essential items are easily accessible in case the power goes out or the water supply is disrupted. Preparation includes the following steps:

Monitor the news for the changing weather.
Make sure you have non-perishable food and water. You should have one gallon of water per day.
Ensure your home is insulated and wrap exposed pipes to prevent freezing and bursts.
Make sure to keep your phone charged, your eyeglasses with you, and a flashlight in case the power goes out.
If you have a car the gas tank should be full and you should have an emergency kit in your car which has batteries, a battery powered radio, first aid supplies, blankets, jumper cables, non-perishable food, (shovel and ice scraper if needed) and essential medications.
Dress in layers of warm clothing when needed, hat, gloves, and scarf.
Pets should have access to warm shelter and plenty of food and water.
We will call you to check in on you and to confirm your provider is at work.
Limit outdoor activities to essential needs.
Never heat a home with a cooktop or oven, charcoal grill or gasoline or propane heater indoors as these items cause electric shock and or cause deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. Also, keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything flammable, keep children at least 3 feet away from space heaters, turn space heaters off when you go to bed or leave the room. Plug space heaters directly into wall outlets.

Aviso de clima frío (6 de enero de 2025) - Dallas

Tenga en cuenta que Dallas y las áreas circundantes esperan temperaturas frías peligrosas del 01/05/25 al 01/12/25. Un frente frío fuerte comenzará el domingo 05 de enero de 2025 y puede traer vientos dañinos, hielo y nieve. Debido a una ráfaga ártica, se espera que la temperatura baje a temperaturas bajo cero el lunes por la noche. Las temperaturas seguirán bajando el miércoles 08/01/25 y el jueves 09/01/25.
Continúe monitoreando el pronóstico del tiempo y tome las precauciones adecuadas para garantizar su seguridad durante este tiempo. Dado que el clima severo u otras emergencias pueden causar cortes de teléfono y electricidad, mantenga una radio a batería sintonizada en la estación WBAP 820 AM o KSCS 96.3 FM. Esta estación lo mantendrá informado cada media hora sobre las condiciones de la carretera y los cierres de negocios.

Este es un momento importante para preparar su automóvil para viajar de manera segura en clima invernal, ya que la seguridad de nuestros clientes y empleados es nuestra principal prioridad. Si la patrulla de carreteras determina que las condiciones son demasiado peligrosas para viajar de manera segura, cerraremos la oficina; sin embargo, nuestras líneas telefónicas permanecerán abiertas las 24 horas del día para situaciones que no sean de emergencia. Prepárese usted y prepare a sus clientes en caso de que se produzcan interrupciones del servicio debido a las inclemencias del tiempo y mantenga a la agencia informada de dichas interrupciones.

Alentamos a los clientes a que comiencen a prepararse ahora para que sus artículos esenciales estén fácilmente accesibles en caso de que se corte la electricidad o el suministro de agua. La preparación incluye los siguientes pasos:

Esté atento a las noticias para saber si el clima cambia.
Asegúrese de tener alimentos no perecederos y agua. Debe tener un galón de agua por día.
Asegúrese de que su casa esté aislada y envuelva las tuberías expuestas para evitar que se congelen y exploten.
Asegúrese de mantener su teléfono cargado, sus anteojos y una linterna en caso de que se corte la energía.
Si tiene un automóvil, el tanque de gasolina debe estar lleno y debe tener un kit de emergencia en su automóvil que tenga pilas, una radio de pilas, suministros de primeros auxilios, mantas, cables para la batería del auto, alimentos no perecederos (pala y rascador de hielo si es necesario) y medicamentos esenciales.
Vístase con varias capas de ropa abrigada cuando sea necesario, gorro, guantes y bufanda.
Las mascotas deben tener acceso a un refugio cálido y abundante comida y agua.
Lo llamaremos para verificar cómo está y confirmar que su proveedor está trabajando.
Limite las actividades al aire libre a las necesidades esenciales.
Nunca caliente una casa con una estufa o un horno, una parrilla de carbón o un calentador de gasolina o propano en el interior, ya que estos elementos pueden provocar descargas eléctricas o intoxicaciones mortales por monóxido de carbono. Además, mantenga los calentadores de ambiente al menos a 3 pies de cualquier material inflamable, mantenga a los niños al menos a 3 pies de distancia de los calentadores de ambiente, apague los calentadores de ambiente cuando se vaya a dormir o salga de la habitación. Enchufe los calentadores de ambiente directamente a los enchufes de pared.
