2024 Winter Safety Awareness Week is November 17–23
Columbus, OH) – In a coordinated effort, Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness (OCSWA) recognize November 17-23, 2024 as Winter Safety Awareness Week.
“Winter Safety Awareness Week is a great opportunity for citizens, schools, and businesses to prepare for the potential harsh impacts of winter,” said Governor DeWine. “Having an emergency plan for your family, practicing the plan, and having an emergency kit at home and in your vehicles will help you be ready for winter weather or any other emergency.”
Winter activities can be fun for everyone, but Ohioans should also be prepared for more severe impacts that can come along with the season. Snow, blizzard conditions, freezing rain, and flooding are a few of many conditions that can be hazardous during the winter months. Residents are encouraged to not only enjoy what winter has to offer, but to also prepare in advance for these potentially dangerous conditions.
Below are some tips to help you get ready for the harsher side of the season.
Make an emergency plan. Plans should include each member of your household, including pets. If you have a multi-generational home, please plan for the needs of babies, children, and older adults. Please also consider your household members with different abilities that may require special assistance or use of medical or mobility equipment.
Build an emergency kit. Have an emergency preparedness “go-kit” ready in case of a power outage or if you need to leave the house quickly! Using your plan as a guide, you can have the appropriate items ready to go as soon as you need it. Additionally, make a kit for each of your vehicles in the event you are stranded and need supplies to keep safe until help arrives.
Practice your plan! Gather your household together so everyone understands the plan and their role in the process.

Teachers use Election Day to Study and Continuously Improve their craft increasing opportunities for students in Adams County. The district will be incorporating Six Sigma into our portfolio of Graduation Pathways. Six Sigma is team based structured problem solving. It centralizes around organizational issues that need to be improved or reduced. It is used by over a million organizations worldwide. Ohio has taken the lead in the U.S. by becoming the first state in the country to make Lean Six Sigma part of their pathways for graduation. We look forward to having this embedded in our courses for the 2025-2026 school year.
