Environment Canada is cautioning residents of southern Manitoba to be prepared for snow and freezing rain later this weekend and early next week.
After the outages last weekend, Steinbach Fire Chief Kel Toews offered some tips on how to prepare for a power outage.
He said the best way to stay safe during long power outages is to be prepared with a 72-hour kit that includes food, flashlight and batteries, and a radio, along with a battery powered phone charger.
