Good morning and Happy New Year,

The latest Creve Coeur Police Activity Report is attached.

This weekend, the chance of Impactful Winter Precipitation is high Saturday night into early Monday morning. Now is the opportunity to prepare for the weather:

• Limit your travel during winter weather, and take care of your weekend errands early.
• Create a family emergency plan and create an emergency kit with bottled water and canned and dried food that can be prepared without cooking in case of a power outage.
• Adding the following supplies to your disaster supply kit: rock salt to melt ice on walkways; sand to improve traction; snow shovels and other snow removal equipment.
• Secure an alternate fuel source such as firewood or a generator. Make sure your fireplace functions properly. If you have a generator, make sure you have fuel and that it functions properly. Only operate the generator outdoors. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand.
• Creating a winter car kit in the trunk of the car. This includes: windshield scraper and small broom, flashlight, blanket, spare radio with batteries, snacks or energy-type food, water, jumper cables, flares and matches, shovel, sand or shingles to give tires traction, extra hats, socks and mittens, first aid kit, fluorescent distress flag.
• Learn how to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts.
