Record-breaking El Niño brings unprecedented snow to Chile
Winter weather makes roads dangerous, increases the risk of power loss, and can cause cold-related injury during outages. Stranded vehicles are a common hazard.
This report is based on information from Reuters, monitored by Alert USA's verified emergency feed.
Expect a high chance of travel disruptions, elevated power-outage risk, and heating stress during any extended loss of service.
Recommended steps: avoid non-essential travel; keep heat sources clear and ventilated; have blankets and a way to charge a phone; check on family and neighbors.
