Any other necessities

Again, this could be life saving information for someone in need, so please share it and help us get the word out.

Thank you to everyone who's having to brave this weather to work. However, if you don't have to be out, please stay in your home and keep warm. Driving conditions are very dangerous right now.

If you must go out, be sure that you take along supplies you may need should your car become stranded. Make sure your phone is fully charged, and consider telling a loved one or friend where you'll be going and the route you'll be taking. Let them know to check up on you and send help if they don't hear from you.

Stay safe out there, Central Texas.
