Winter Storm Headed to Brazos Valley

With the winter storm on its way, the nice folks over at BTUtilities sent me the following message today and most of the information should apply to College Station Utility customers as well.

The 7-day forecast from KBTX shows that it will be warming up to above freezing on Wednesday & Thursday.  Weather.com shows that we will have rain/wintry mix tonight & tomorrow.  Check the school website or Facebook pages or go to KBTX for a list of closings. It is not mentioned but your should drip your faucets inside & out, and keep the cabinets open under sinks to prevent frozen pipes.  Make sure your animals are protected from the freezing temperatures as well.

Bryan Texas Utilities Customers Should Prepare For Winter Storm

 BRYAN, TEXAS – Bryan Texas Utilities is preparing customers for what actions to take should they experience an outage during the winter storm that is anticipated to hit Monday night (Jan. 15, 2018).

If an outage occurs during these especially cold temperatures, customers are asked to take the following steps to help BTU crews restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

  • Turn off your heater: If your heater immediately kicks back on after a cold-weather outage, the amount of electricity required to turn it on can cause the system to shut down again. Wait 15-30 minutes after power is restored to start turning your heater and appliances back on. This includes space heaters, which require a large amount of electricity.
  • Conserve: Avoid using your heater and appliances at the same time. Put off running dishwashers, washers, and dryers unless absolutely needed and turn off any extra lights you do not need.
  • Utilize the BTU outage map: In the event of an outage, your meter will tell BTU System Operators that there is a problem, so there is no need to call. This also allows BTU Operators to focus on helping the linemen restore power.

Customers are encouraged to follow BTU on Facebook (@BryanTexasUtilities) and Twitter (@BTU_BryanTX) for timely updates and information.

 

Stay Warm and Safe!

Weathering the storm in College Station, TX

We are wishing all our friends and associates well during Hurricane Harvey.  We’ve seen a lot of rain, but we’re safe in the Brazos County and weathering the storm.

The Emergency Preparedness Board that EVERY person should follow:    This site on Pinterest is an accumulation of everything to do with taking care of your home and family in case of emergency including survival skills.  It’s an absolute wealth of knowledge on every topic providing ‘how to’ instructions, do it yourself, and things you may not have thought of.  What’s more important than our homes and families?  You and I need a plan for ‘what if’ situations.  We need to teach it to our kids so they can teach theirs someday.  I’ll continue to add important information, so bookmark this site and get going. As daunting as it sounds,  I can’t tell you how important it is! By the inch it’s a cinch.   Start with a 72 hour kit which is also called a ‘bug out bag’.  I know for a fact that if my children had to suffer some day because of something that I didn’t do when I had the opportunity, I will probably suffer more than them.   I maintain that I can’t do everything, but I can do a few things, little by little, line upon line, one day at a time,  and I can truly ‘TRY’ to prepare every needful thing as time and money permits.   I wish the best for you and yours.  Myke Leatham

 

Be Red Cross Ready

This is a great tutorial from the Red Cross on how  to be ready for a medical emergency

 

College Station Emergency Response
College Station, Texas		College Station Emergency Response
We are grateful and fortunate for the foresight and dedication of our superior emergency response teams in the B/CS area. Special Operations includes services outside the traditional fire department services of fire suppression and emergency medical services. The CS Fire Department is the lead agency for a Hazardous Materials Response Group made up of personnel from the CS & Bryan Fire Dep. & personnel from the Environmental Health & Safety Office of Texas A&M.

 

Food StorageFood Storage
What should you have on hand in your home in case of an emergency?This may be the BEST insurance policy you’ll ever buy!   Build a small supply of food that is part of your normal, daily diet. One way to do this is to purchase a few extra items each week to build a one-week supply of food. Then you can gradually increase your supply until it is sufficient for three months. These items should be rotated regularly to avoid spoilage.

 

What should be in my food storage in case of emergency? How to get started 
The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints continues to be a fabulous resource and forerunner with regard to Emergency Preparedness. People are taught to buy an extra can of food when they go to the store. One little step at a time to ensure the safety and security of families. Having Food Storage and Emergency Essentials on hand is the CHEAPEST INSURANCE POLICY you’ll ever have!

 

Disaster Evacuation for Pets:                      Don’t forget to plan in advance for your pets!

 

National self Reliance Association              Being self-reliant doesn’t mean that you are ready for every situation.  It does mean that you are more aware than most of the people in your neighborhood and that you care enough to take gradual steps to take care of yourself and your home in case of emergency.  I applaud you and wish you success.  Feel free to call me if you have comments or suggestions.  I’m always happy to help, and I’m here if you need me.   Myke Leatham

 

Emergency Essentials on Myke’s Pinterest Board:  Here’s tons of research at your fingertips for your convenience.  Lets keep our families safe!

Water Purification and Storage:  In a harsh environment — it’s snowing, say — you have 3 hours to survive without shelter. After 3 days, you need water or you’ll perish. You can make it 3 weeks without food, though we promise you that won’t be fun. Despite this possibly helpful rule, some people have survived 8 to 10 days without water.  Do you really think it’s wise to rely on someone else for water?  Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have some back up water just in case of an emergency?
