Enviro-Log Offers Safety Tips for Extreme Winter Weather
Important Ways to Help You Protect Your Family Members in Difficult Situations
(firmenpresse) - ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/12/16 -- Enviro-Log®, Inc., a leader in eco-friendly products for home heating and outdoor activities, urges households to prepare for extreme winter weather by following important safety tips that can help protect family members.
"The unusually warm temperatures we''ve experienced so far this winter might cause some families to forget about being prepared for winter storms," said Ross McRoy, president of Enviro-Log, Inc. "It is important to make sure all family members know what to do in these situations and have access to emergency kits stored in homes and vehicles. Too often people don''t think about preparing until after the situation has occurred and they underestimate how long it will take for help to arrive."
McRoy stresses some key essentials to ensure families are prepared.
