The Bridgeport Department of Emergency Services and Jason Parrish (WBOY-TV) are proud to bring to you a “Meet Your Weatherman ... Weather Talk."
Come and learn about and how to be prepared for “Severe Winter Weather” on Thurs., Nov. 15 2012 at 7:15 p.m. in the
Bridgeport City Council Chambers, 515 West Main Street – Municipal Complex.
Severe winter storms can cause widespread damage and disruption. Heavy snow often results in paralyzed transportation systems, automobile accidents due to slippery roads and stranded vehicles. Glazing from ice storms topples utility lines and poles and makes travel virtually impossible. These conditions can be a threat to life. Nearly 70 people in the U.S. die from winter storms and extreme cold every year, and about 1,300 are killed in winter weather-related traffic accidents.
