Ensure proper ventilation of furnaces, water heaters and other appliances that vent outside. Clear snow from exhaust pipes.
Clear snow from gas meters. Heavy snow can cover the regulator vent and block gas service.
Check on vulnerable neighbors, friends and relatives during and after the storm. Make sure they have an adequate supply of food, water and medicine.
Do not call 911 to report power outages unless the outage poses a threat to safety or property (contact numbers for electricity providers are listed below).
Never use a generator indoors or in an attached garage. A portable generator exhausts a deadly gas called carbon monoxide that is odorless and colorless. Place generators outside where exhaust fumes will not enter into enclosed spaces. The generator should be protected from direct exposure to rain and snow. Follow manufacturer instructions.
Clear fire hydrants near your home or business from snow so the hydrants are readily accessible to fire departments. Fire hydrants should be cleared of snow from about 3 feet in each direction, with a clear path to the street.
Clear snow off all exposed surfaces of vehicles before driving, including the top of the vehicle.
Take care not to overexert when shoveling snow. Push the snow as you shovel because it’s easier on your back than lifting the snow. Make sure to stretch before and after snow removal. Take breaks as necessary.

Residents can visit www.ready.gov for more preparedness information.

YORK COUNTY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, BAKER ROAD

Mark Walters, York County, Press Release:

Construction on the Baker Road bridge connecting West Manchester and Dover Townships is expected to begin in September 2021 and last into July 2022. The intent is to limit the maximum duration of road closure to minimize the impact on the community. The road could be closed in the fall or in early April 2022. The road closure duration will be limited to 100 calendar days. The schedule hinges on PennDOT’s approval, so it is subject to change.
