GET READY FOR WINTER 2016

Get ready for water this winter Experts forecast a mild winter with lots of precipitation for entire state Our forecast for the coming winter looks to be mild in temperature, but stormy. The anticipated La Nina chill, if it arrives, is likely to be weak, if it’s at all noticeable in the coming months.

For November, December, January and February, the Office of the Washington State Climatologist has projected equal chances of warmer, colder and normal temperatures, but a greater than normal chance of precipitation, and that means flooding, so it’s time to update your family flood plans and your emergency kits.

If you’re wondering what the averages for this area are, according to the website northbendweather.com, just over seven inches of rain fell in October 2015, while temperatures ranged from 59 to 79 degrees.

Last November the highs averaged in the high 40s, with lows in the mid 30s, and nearly 13 inches of precipitation — which accounts for the numerous small flooding events that kept the Upper Valley damp from October to early December.

The 2015 December highs were in the mid 40s, with lows in the mid 30s and another 19 inches of precipitation.

January 2016 brought highs around 50 degrees, lows around 40 and 8.6 inches of rain, and by February, temperatures were in the mid 50s with lows around 41 degrees and another 8 inches of rainfall.

CAR MAINTENANCE TIPS Stay Cool, and Warm

Properly maintaining your vehicle’s coolant system helps keep your engine, your radiator, and you at a comfortable temperature. Since both your heat and air conditioner work off of the same coolant, flushing and filling your radiator’s antifreeze keeps your engine running cooler and helps prevent overheating, freezing, and corrosion. Over time the anticorrosion and lubricating properties in coolant begin to break down and allow potential engine-damaging rust, corrosion, and mineral deposits to form throughout the cooling system.

CAR MAINTENANCE TIPS Brake Fluid Service

When it comes to safety on the road, your Chevrolet car or truck’s brakes are the most critical part of the vehicle. Neglecting to regularly change brake fluid can result in sluggish brake response, the corrosion of brake parts and even complete brake failure. A brake fluid change is also crucial because this liquid is like a sponge. It absorbs water right out of the air. This causes the boiling point of the fluid to decrease, which results in poor brake performance. Avoid having to pay for an expensive brake repair down the line.

We do alignments and perform full suspension work too!

Get prepared, even on a budget Getting ready for winter flooding or other disasters doesn’t have to be a budget-breaker. Try these suggestions for getting ready, without going broke.

Create your own list for a kit. You may not need everything included in the kits available for sale, and there may be additional items you need based on your personal situation. For example, if you have pets, you may need special items.

Don’t forget to have supplies in your car and at work.

Look around your home first for items you can add to your kit. You may be surprised how many items you already have that just need to be pulled together.

Budget emergency preparedness items as a normal expense. Even $20 a month can go a long way to helping you be ready.

Buy one preparedness item each time you go to the grocery store.

Save by shopping sales. Use coupons and shop at stores with camping supplies and used goods.

Test your emergency preparedness kit every six months. Replace and cycle through only those items that have a shelf life, such as water, food and batteries.

You may want to test the radio and flashlight at the same time to make sure they are in working order. Use Daylight Savings dates, Nov. 6 this year, as your preparedness test reminder dates.

Store water in safe containers. You don’t have to buy more expensive bottled water, but make sure any containers you use for water storage are safe and disinfected.

Request preparedness items as gifts. Better than a gift you’ll never use, your friends and family members can give you gifts that could save your life. Don’t forget to protect them with preparedness gifts, too.

Think ahead. You are more likely to save money if you can take your time with focused and strategic shopping. It’s when everyone is at the store right before a storm hits that you might buy things in urgency. Use a list to avoid duplicating items when you are stressed or panicked.

Consider giving up one family night out to fund your family emergency preparedness kit.

Protecting your business • Review your insurance policies

to see if coverage is provided for flood damage to the building and its contents. Contents coverage typically is optional.

• If you have a lease, review it to see if the building’s flood insurance policy covers structural elements in your space. Most commercial insurance does not cover flood damage.

• Review equipment lease and rental agreements to determine if you are responsible for flood damage.

• Ensure that important business files are backed up on a server away from your building so they aren’t lost if electronics and paper files are destroyed.

• Keep detailed records of all items in the building, including serial numbers, costs, and dates of purchase. Store those records on a remote server or in another place you can access after a flood to aid in the claims process.

• Establish a disaster procedure and emergency communications plan to share with your employees.

• Create a wallet-size contact card with important names and number, in case of emergency.

• Set up a phone or text message tree with your staff.

• Tune in to local media and community messaging about potential disasters.

Protecting your home • Review your current insurance policies to see if coverage is provided for flood damage to your home and its contents.

• Most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage, so be sure to purchase flood insurance to cover both your property and contents.

• To find an agent who sells flood insurance in your area, use the Agent Locator at FloodSmart.gov/ floodsmart/pages/choose_your_ policy/agent_locator.jsp or call 800-427-2419.

• Ensure that medical and financial records—including your insurance policy— are in a waterproof container and store additional copies in a separate secure location.

• Create a contact card small enough to put in a wallet with important names and numbers to use in case of an emergency.

• Establish a disaster procedure and family communications plan to share with your family members at Ready.gov/make-a-plan.

• Tune in to local media and community messaging about potential disasters.

Flood safety: Where to find sandbags around the Snoqualmie Valley Winter in the Snoqualmie Valley usually brings with it a flood event, or several. Protect your home and property with sandbags, through the free King County Sandbag Program.

Sandbags serve as a barrier to divert moving water, which can prevent or reduce flood water.

In 2009, the King County Council passed legislation to create locations for the stockpiling and distribution of sand and sandbags. The locations are the result of partnerships with local towns and cities that already offer sandbags to their residents.

Sandbag locations, open to King County residents, include: · Carnation: City of Carnation Public Works, 33100 N.E. 45th St., Carnation; Sandbags and sand are available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. · Fall City: King County Roads facility, 33719 S.E. 44th Pl., Fall City; Open 24/7, self-service, limited to 25 sandbag per vehicle. · North Bend: City of North Bend Public Works Shops, 1155 E. North Bend Way, North Bend; Sandbags and sand available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Selfservice, shovels available. Check in with the office before bagging. · Snoqualmie: City of Snoqualmie, Railroad Ave S.E. and S.E. King St. Snoqualmie; Call Snoqualmie Public Works (425) 831-4919 for an appointment to pick up sand and sandbags. During a flood call the Emergency Operations Center 425-888-5911 for sandbags. · Black Diamond: King County Roads Facility, 20827 S.E. Auburn Black Diamond Rd., Black Diamond; Open 24/7, self-service, limited to 25 sandbags per vehicle. · Kent: City of Kent, Russell Road Park between Russell Rd. and S. 240th St. Kent, N.E. corner of parking lot; Self-service sandbags and sand are available, bring your own shovel. · Renton: King County Roads Facility, 155 Monroe Ave N.E., Renton; Open 24/7, self-service, limited to 25 sandbag per vehicle. · Skykomish: King County Roads Facility, 74212 Old Cascade Hwy Skykomish; Open 24/7, self-service, limited to 25 sandbag per vehicle.

For the latest information on where to find sandbags as well as instructions on how best to fill and use sandbags,

see the King County website, http://www.kingcounty.gov/ services/environment/water-and-land/flooding/sandbagdistribution.aspx.

Funding for the King County Sandbag Program is provided by the King County Flood Control District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Snow and ice: Prepare your vehicle, emergency kit, and yourself for winter driving

Carol Ladwig/File Photo

King County’s Search and Rescue volunteers recommend that all recreation users carry 10 essentials with them. So does AAA, only for drivers. Most items in the 10 Essentials, pictured above, are the same: Insulation (extra layers of clothing plus a hat), food and water, a source of light, a map and compass or GPS, matches, first-aid supplies, a repair kit, sunscreen, and emergency shelter. Add jumper cables and tire chains and you have it all.

SNOQUALMIE VALLEY FOOD BANK

OPEN HOUSE

YOU'RE INVITED TO AN OPEN HOUSE AT THE SNOQUALMIE VALLEY FOOD BANK

THANK YOU TO THE SNOQUALMIE VALLEY RECORD FOR SPONSORING THIS AD.

Winter may be a mild one this year, but snow and ice have a way of popping up at the least convenient times. Be ready for winter driving conditions with a couple of useful suggestions, starting from the ground up.

Before you head onto any road this winter, check your tire pressure. For every 10 degrees the temperature drops, your tires can lose about 1 pound per square inch (PSI) of pressure.

To determine the right pressure for your tires, check the manufacturer’s recommendations on the inside of the door frame.

Winter tires and tire chains are also options, just be sure to check the calendar if you plan to use studded tires.

Winter tires are designed to remain flexible in cold temperatures, allowing for better traction.

Chains are removable traction devices good for temporary use.

Studded tires, which have actual metal studs embedded in the tread, are legal in Washington only from Nov. 1 to March 31. Unless the period is extended, drivers using studded tires beyond these dates could be subject to fines.

Aside from the hit to a driver’s gas mileage, using studded tires when they’re not needed can cause significant road abrasion. Ruts on the roadway can cause safety issues such as standing water on roadways, hydroplaning, and excessive road spray.

Next, know your braking system. If you have anti-lock brakes, remember to apply firm, steady pressure, instead of pumping the brakes. Let the system do the work.

As the driver, your work is to be aware of conditions. Check the weather forecast

before you set out and monitor conditions as you go.

Slow down in uncertain conditions and increase your following distance.

Use extra caution on bridges and overpasses, which usually freeze first, and remember, four-wheel drive vehicles do not stop or steer better on ice.

If you do start to slide, don’t panic. Steer the car in the direction you want to go, and brake gradually. Do not slam on the brakes.

Always keep a winter driving kit in your vehicle, too. AAA recommends making sure you pack these 10 essential items in your winter driving kit in case you encounter snowy or icy road conditions: · Cell phone and charger for making emergency calls · Warning devices (flares, triangles or other visual alert) · First aid kit · Flashlight with new batteries · Non-perishable food and water · Blankets and warm clothing including hat and gloves · Jumper cables · Abrasive material (sand or cat litter) or traction mats and a small shovel · Ice scraper for clearing car and windows · Tire chains Once you’ve checked all your preparations and your supplies, check your instincts, too. If you don’t feel safe driving in the conditions, don’t go.

Are you ready for a blackout?

It takes more than a pack of cards From TakeWinterByStorm.org

Every winter, the wind comes up, the lights flicker, and sometimes they go out.

The Valley has weathered many days-long power outages in the past, and probably will again.

Here’s what you can do to prepare.

Before power goes out: • Prepare an emergency kit, including a radio, flashlight, extra batteries, a first-aid kit, emergency contact information, water, and non-perishable food.

• Keep flashlights, extra batteries handy at work, too.

• Keep cell phones, smart phones, laptops and tablets) fully charged. If you are traveling, bring chargers with you.

• Test your emergency generator at the start of the season.

• Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarms and test the batteries regularly.

During an outage: • Report power outages or downed power lines. Call PSE at 1 (888) 225-5773 for out-

ages, or call 911 about gas leaks or downed power lines.

• Use flashlights instead of light sources with open flames.

• Phone calls may not go through during network outages, so use text messaging instead.

• Use a wireless device to view updates on power outages.

• The PSE outage map is available at https://pse.com/accountsandser vices/ ServiceAlert/Pages/Outage-Map.aspx?WT. ac=Flyout-OutageMap. • Stay away from downed power lines; If you are near one, shuffle your feet as you move away from it, to prevent ground shock. If a power line falls on your car while you are driving, stay inside and wait for help.

• Never use charcoal or gas grills indoors.

They can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Follow all instructions when operating a generator and never operate them indoors or near windows and doors.

• Stay informed. Tune your radio in to local media for updates.
