This week marks Winter Weather Awareness Week in New York, a reminder that it's time to winterize your car and stock up on some emergency supplies. Snow arrived in NYC as early as October 29th last year, so be sure to keep the following items in your vehicle in preparation for the coming winter: - A gallon of water
- Non-perishable foods (like canned fruit, protein bars, and trail mix)
- A blanket
- A flashlight and extra batteries
- An ice scraper
- Cat litter/sand (for added traction if you get stuck in the snow)
- Spare winter clothes (sweater/hoodie, hat, gloves)

This week during 
October is National Energy Action Month, and OEM reminds New Yorkers that energy efficiency starts with simple choices. Take steps like turning off the lights when you leave a room to save energy. Remember to keep your emergency lights energy efficient, too: traditional flashlight bulbs have limited lifespans, but Light Emitting Diode (LED) flashlights are more durable and last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs. ![[Valid Atom 1.0]](http://sites.google.com/site/fpcbrooklynyouth/valid-atom.png "Validate my Atom 1.0 feed")
