Monitor local weather broadcasts and check the latest conditions from the NWS before hitting the road. To monitor real-time road conditions in your area, visit Drive Texas or check specific traffic updates for Austin, Dallas, and Houston (or via Houston TranStar), or call (800) 452-9292.
If you must drive in inclement weather, allow additional time to reach your destination and share your travel plans with a friend or family member, so someone knows the route you’re taking.
When driving on icy roads, drive slowly and increase the distance between your vehicle and others when stopping. Do not use cruise control during poor driving conditions and ensure your vehicle has a full tank of gas before you head out.
What to do if the power goes out
Cities across the metroplex are offering warming centers for people who lose power and people who are unsheltered.
Specifically in Dallas, the city is making contingency plans for people who may find themselves in extended power outages. It’s a change of procedure that came out of the big winter storm in 2021.
The city will monitor for outages with Oncor. If neighborhoods have severe damage to lines and transformers, the city said it has generators staged at park and recreation facilities around Dallas.
“We’re ready to move resources and people and activate those sites and then provide transportation, if we need to, to affected residents so that they can have a safe place to go to,” said Kevin Oden, Dallas’s Director of Emergency Management.
If you do lose power, you can still watch FOX 4. The FOX LOCAL app will allow you to stay up to date with news stories, live streams, and weather alerts in real time, all from your mobile phone or tablet.Â
