Stephanie Benson with Columbia Gas of Virginia says now is the time for customers with natural gas service to prepare for the weekend storm. She says make sure furnace vents and gas meters are clear of snow and ice, and to know where gas shutoff valves are located. Benson also recommends checking carbon monoxide detectors, keeping extra batteries on hand, and having a plan in case power outages affect home heating systems.
Benson says taking a few simple steps now can help prevent dangerous situations and keep homes warm and safe during the storm.
