Tips on Having the Right Supplies Before Winter Weather Strikes

Being safe in hazardous winter weather not only means taking the appropriate steps during the storm, but also having the right supplies beforehand. Waiting to stock up on supplies until a watch or warning is issued may result in those items being unavailable or the store being closed.

The checklist below provides some basic guidance on what to have in your home during the winter if you are forced to stay indoors or lose electricity.

• Disposable dishware: plates, bowls, utensils
• Specialty items: medications, infant formula
• Portable radio: AM/FM radio and batteries
• Warm clothing: hats, mittens, parkas, boots
• Extra blankets
• Matches: for candles and gas fireplaces
• Shovel/snow blower: check condition and maintenance
• Flashlights (extra batteries)
• First-Aid Kit
• Cellphone (fully charged)
• Firewood: Wood fireplaces

Here are a few additional action items to consider during the snowy season:

• Check and ensure smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly.

Potholes are Popping Up All Over - Here's How to Report Them

Four snow events this season, repeated freezing and thawing, and winter road treatments have taken a toll on Louisville Metro streets. These harsh conditions weaken pavement and lead to potholes.

In 2025 alone, Louisville Metro's Department of Transportation has filled more than 48,860 potholes. Reporting them helps crews respond more quickly, keeping roads safer and smoother for everyone throughout the winter months.

You can report potholes by:

• Click here to fill out an online form at LouisvilleKY.gov
• Using X (previously Twitter) by sending the location to @LouMetro311 and including #502pothole
• Calling 311 or 502-574-5000 to report potholes or other service issues.
