Warm, Dry Places for Residents Available During Day and Night

With temperatures expected to dip into the single digits after midnight,
there are several places residents can go to stay warm if needed during this
cold weather event.
Project ECHO will be available as an emergency overnight warming center.
Project ECHO is located at 484 Main Street in Prince Frederick. Residents
can call ahead at 410-535-0044 or drop in tonight.
The county's community centers will be open during regular hours and safe
drinking water is available in each of them. Residents who need to take
refuge in a warm place can go to one of the following locations:
Northeast Community Center 
4075 Gordon Stinnett Ave., Chesapeake Beach (410-257-2554)
Open Sunday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-10 p.m., and Friday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-11 p.m.

Mount Hope Community Center 
104 Pushaw Station Road, Sunderland (410-257-6770)
Open Monday-Saturday, 8:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m., and Sunday, noon-6 p.m.

Southern Community Center
20 Appeal Lane, Lusby (410-586-1101)
Open Monday-Saturday, 8:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; closed Sunday

Edward T. Hall Aquatic Center
130 Auto Drive, Prince Frederick (410-414-8350)
Open Monday-Friday, 6 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday, 8
a.m.-8 p.m.

During extreme cold weather events, the primary concern is the potential
loss of heat, power, telephone service and a shortage of supplies if storm
or weather conditions continue for more than one day. Residents should have
the following items available:
. Flashlight and extra batteries
. Battery-operated NOAA weather radio and portable radio to receive
emergency information; these may be your only links to the outside
. Extra food and water; high-energy food and food requiring no cooking or
refrigeration is best
. Extra medicine and baby items
. First aid supplies
. Heating fuel
. Emergency heating source (fireplace, wood stove, space heater, etc.)
. Fire extinguisher and smoke detector
If travel or outside activity is required, citizens should:
. Keep dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat.
. Watch for frostbite. Symptoms include loss of feeling and white or pale
appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes and the tip of
the nose. If symptoms are detected, get medical help immediately.
. Watch for hypothermia. Symptoms include uncontrollable shivering, memory
loss, disorientation, slurred speech, drowsiness and apparent exhaustion. If
symptoms are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet
clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, nonalcoholic
beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help immediately.
Residents are encouraged to consider family members or neighbors with
special needs and assist them in preparing for the winter weather. The
Calvert County government website at www.co.cal.md.us and Facebook page will
have updates on local preparations and county government closures should
they become necessary.

Used the Call Frequency on my trip south.  Met N3HFA just east of Richmond, VA at WaWa and we used the freq for info exchange and rag chewing well into North Carolina.  Made an otherwise long boring drive into and interesting one.

Here is a handy item for a home station radio, e-comm station radio, even a club radio.
Would work fine with most vhf/uhf radios, and hf radios turned down to 50 watts. Nice that the switch doesn't draw much power itself. Caution charging gel-cel indoors may be ok with regulated charger, but other batteries not so good.

Anyway, lots of possibilities......................

Typical B movie. Mankind against the Universe, is mankind fit to continue exist?
