Don’t Forget Your Neighbors

Although our winter season is limited in South Texas, the area still runs the risk for wintery weather, particularly icy conditions. Even if temperatures rise quickly after a winter storm, damage and power outages may last for several days.

Check on neighbors who may require special assistance. Infants, elderly, homebound people, and people with disabilities are most susceptible to cold weather.

If you have a neighbor that is elderly, homebound, or has small children, take time to check on them to ensure they have adequate heating, clothing, and food to endure a power outage.
