The forecast is calling for a winter storm that has the potential to create dangerous travel conditions and lead to power outages. Town of Leland Public Safety officials encourage community members to be prepared, stay safe, and keep the following safety tips in mind:

  • Stay home and off the roads.
  • If you must go out, slow down, give space, assume anything that looks wet is ice, and be extra cautious on bridges and overpasses.
  • Be aware that four-wheel drive isn’t effective on ice.
  • Keep devices charged.
  • Build or update your emergency supply kit.
  • Don’t put generators inside your home. Keep them outside due to carbon monoxide.

  • Trim weak or damaged branches around your home.
  • Don’t leave vehicle wipers raised.
