Loudoun - post-snow safety advice
Loudoun County public safety officials are emphasizing three of the most important things that people can do in the wake of the record-setting snowstorm.
1) Clear the area around the fire hydrants and dry hydrants in your neighborhood. Clearing the snow from around the hydrants will enable fire and rescue personnel to access the hydrants quickly in the event of an emergency.
2) Make sure your address is visible for emergency personnel. If your address has been covered up by the snow, write it in clear, large print on a piece of paper and place it on your front door.
3) Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and homebound and especially in rural areas.
