Use these tips to operate your generators safely in the event of a winter power outage! tdi.texas.gov/blog/how-to-sa…
ALT Safe generator use Only use outside: Never use a generator inside your home or garage, even with the doors open. Keep fumes out: Make sure the generator is at least 20 feet from doors and windows. Test alarms: Have working carbon monoxide alarms in your home.

The Texas Dept. of Transportation is working around the clock to clear roads, but those roads remain treacherous.
Many/most roads are ice slicks that lead to wrecks.
Be careful while driving, and if you don't need to go somewhere today try to stay off the roads.
Chief Nim Kidd retweeted
As you try to keep warm, make sure you do so safely!
If using a generator, run it at least 20 feet from your home. Ensure your carbon monoxide detectors have fresh batteries.
Call 911 immediately if someone displays symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: tdi.texas.gov/tips/how-to-av…

As winter weather impacts the state, the Texas State Emergency Operations Center remains in 24-hour operations at Level II (Escalated Response).
This helps enhance coordination between state agencies as we work around the clock to support Texas communities with response needs.

Chief Kidd and other state agency leaders briefed Gov. Abbott on how TDEM and our Texas Emergency Management Council partners have prepared for impacts from winter weather.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX provided an update on the preparations the state is taking ahead of incoming winter weather.
He declared a disaster proclamation & @TxDPS announced a waiver so that trucks can drive for longer to ensure Texans get supplies.

❄️As winter weather approaches, time is running out to prepare.
Ensure you have warm layers ready, keep an emergency go-kit available with supplies, and stay off the roads once precipitation begins.

For your safety, if you see a wire down, assume it's energized and dangerous, stay at least 35 feet away and never attempt to remove tree limbs or objects from it. Avoid areas where a downed line may not be visible such as near fallen trees or debris. Report a potentially hazardous condition immediately at 713-207-1222.
Chief Nim Kidd retweeted
Increased wildfire danger continues through the weekend across the state.🔥
State wildfire response resources remain ready to support local firefighters.🚒
Continue to monitor local conditions and follow instructions from local officials.
