Kansans Urged To Be Wary Of Winter

Kansas emergency management officials are reminding residents that nothing can be taken for granted about the state’s rapidly changing winter weather.

To reinforce the point, Wednesday was selected by the National Weather Service and the Kansas Division of Emergency Management as the official winter weather awareness day.

The awareness day is designed to remind residents to take precautions when traveling, in protecting their homes from winter weather and to have a home emergency kit ready in case of power loss due to ice or heavy snow.
