Our events offer unique marketing opportuni-ties, added visibility, and networking to expand yourbusiness. Every business can benefit from takingpart in a chamber event. So much business comesfrom referrals, which are easy to find if you attendchamber events on a regular basis.

This added benefit enables individuals andcompanies to prioritize and create an effective mar-keting plan. Our Classic and Premier members evenhave the ability to post special events such as anopen house or a seminar.
Increase your visibility and make connections.Sponsoring an event is a great way to get your nameout there. Sponsors are promoted on our website,inour Monthly Chamber Business Newspaper, week-ly e-newsletter, and included on mailings. All of thisexposure is a fantastic way to brand your businessand stretch your marketing dollars even further.
Sponsoring is a fast and effective way to gain ac-cess to a large audience. Sponsors become affiliatedwith the particular event and help to raise their busi-nesses profile.

UA Fire Division offers winteremergency preparedness tips
son. Keep bottled water in its orig-inal container and do not open ituntil you need to use it. Be sureto notice the expiration or “useby” date.
• A normally active personneeds to drink at least two quartsof water each day.
• Store at least one gallon perperson per day, for drinking andcooking.
• Recycle self-stored water everysix months.
• Recycle commercially bottledwater every 12 months.
Tip: In an emergency, your hotwater heater can be a source ofwater. Turn off the power that heatsthe tank and let it cool. When youwant water, place a container un-derneath and open the drain valveon the bottom of the tank. Sedi-ment can be removed by strain-ing the water through a coffee fil-ter or clean cloth.
Pools, spas, waterbeds and sim-ilar sources of water can be usedfor cleaning and bathing, but donot drink the water from thesesources.
Planning for food Maintain a 3-10 day supply per
person of foods that require no re-frigeration and can be preparedwith little or no water. Select fooditems that are compact and light-weight such as:
• Ready-to-eat canned meats,fruits and vegetables.
• Canned juices, milk, soup (ifpowdered, store extra water).
• Sugar, salt, pepper, other sta-ples.
• High-energy foods such aspeanut butter, jelly, crackers, gra-nola bars, and trail mix.
• Food for persons on specialdiets.
• Small amounts of comfort/stress foods such as cookies, hardcandy, sweetened cereals, lol-lipops, instant coffee, tea bags.
Tip: Keep a manual can open-er, all-purpose knife, plastic wrap,
and re-sealable plastic bags on-hand to help with preparation andstorage of food.
Planning for shelterDuring a wintertime emer-
gency, you may be stuck in yourhome. Make sure everyone canunlock all locks and open all win-dows and doors quickly. Knowhow you’re going to escape thehouse if you have a fire. Makesure there are smoke detectors inthe house and that they are work-ing.
Avoid using a generator or othergasoline, propane, natural gas orcharcoal-burning devices insidea home or garage. Avoid use ofcandles or open flames of anysort. Besides food and water, it isrecommended you keep the fol-lowing on hand:
• A battery-powered or hand-crank AM/FM radio.
• Flashlights and batteries.• An emergency-weather alert
radio and a backup battery.• Rock salt or other product to
melt ice on walkways.• Sand to improve traction.• Snow shovels and other snow
removal equipment.• Sufficient heating fuel for oil-
fired furnaces.• A good supply of dry, sea-
soned wood for fireplaces orwood-burning stoves.
• Warm clothing, blanketsand/or sleeping bags.
• Extra medications.• Portable toilet, toilet paper
and plastic bags for human waste.• Wet wipes.• Pet care items, such as med-
ications, cat litter, and food andwater.
Tip: If you do use lit candles,make sure they are in stable hold-ers and place them where theycannot be easily knocked down.
For additional winter emer-gency preparation advice, pleasecontact the Upper Arlington FireDivision at (614) 583-5100, orvia email at [email protected].
