Lakeview, Colorado, winters can bring all kinds of severe weather, and we usually get much of our snow in March each year. Being prepared for inclement weather is important to the safety and welfare of you and your family. Having enough food, water, medication, and alternate heating methods are critical should there be a power failure.

It is always a good idea to check your survival kit and replenish it as needed. SERVPRO® of Lakewood-Ken Caryl offers these tips from the American Red Cross on things you should have on hand in a survival kit:
