Ice Storm Prep Checklist for Georgia Homeowners

Ice storms in Georgia can sneak up on us. One minute it’s cold and quiet, and the next you’re dealing with frozen pipes, power outages, and slick roads. Because we don’t see this kind of weather often, it’s easy to feel underprepared when it happens.

That’s why I put together a simple, one-page Ice Storm Prep Checklist for homeowners—something you can save, print, and keep handy before the temperatures drop.

Why Ice Storm Prep Matters

Unlike snow, ice tends to cause hidden damage. Frozen or burst pipes, fallen tree limbs, roof issues, and power problems don’t always show up right away. A little preparation ahead of time can help protect your home, your family, and your peace of mind.

What’s Included in the Checklist

This printable checklist walks you through:

• Power and utility prep

• Heating and pipe protection

• Water and food essentials

• Vehicle and travel safety

• Exterior home prep

• Safety planning for your family and pets

• What to check after the storm melts

It’s designed to be easy to follow, not overwhelming, and realistic for busy families.

After the Storm

Once the ice melts, take your time walking around your home. Look for signs of pipe damage, roof issues, or fallen branches. If something feels off, trust your gut—it’s always better to ask questions early.
