The City of Warner Robins is expected to experience sustained sub-freezing temperatures this weekend, accompanied by strong wind gusts reaching up to 35 miles per hour. These conditions will create dangerously cold wind chills and could cause even small amounts of snow to accumulate quickly, leading to slick and hazardous travel conditions throughout the area.
An Extreme Cold Warning is in effect from late Saturday through Sunday. City officials are encouraging residents to take precautions now to protect their homes, families, and property.
To help residents prepare, the City is reminding the community to protect the Four P’s: Pipes, People, Plants, and Pets.
Protect Your Pipes
Turn off water to sprinkler systems
Open sink cabinets to allow warm air to circulate
Let hot and cold water faucets drip slowly (about pencil-lead width) to keep water moving
Protect Your People
Check on older adults and those with medical needs
Dress in layers and stay warm
Be prepared for potential power outages
Protect Your Plants
Cover outdoor plants before temperatures drop
Bring plants indoors if possible
Protect Your Pets
Keep pets warm, dry, and indoors
Ensure food and water do not freeze
