Tips for Staying Safe
These are a few helpful tips to keep you and your family safe and healthy during severe weather:
- Stay alert of changing weather conditions and avoid all unnecessary travel.
- Check on relatives, friends and neighbors who may need help preparing for the storm.
- Avoid overexerting yourself. Cold Weather and unfamiliar exercise can worsen heart conditions. Take frequent breaks and drink lots of water.
- Offer help to senior citizens and those needing special assistance.
- When clearing cars of snow, be sure to uncover muffler exhaust pipes before warming your cars up. Snow cover can trap carbon monoxide in the vehicle leading to serious injury or death.
- Wear appropriate attire. Wear a hat, gloves, and a scarf and insulate with additional clothing layers to avoid hypothermia and frostbite.
