❄️ Fight Back Against the Frigid Cold: Winter Safety Tips

When temperatures drop, risks go up. Stay warm, safe, and prepared with these essential winter weather tips:

🧥 Dress in Layers
Wear multiple loose layers instead of one heavy coat. Don’t forget a hat, gloves, scarf, and insulated socks — you lose a lot of heat through your head and extremities.

🏠 Protect Your Home from Freezing
Keep your thermostat at at least 55°F, even if you're away. Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate around pipes.

🚗 Winterize Your Car
Keep your gas tank at least half full and stock your car with a blanket, flashlight, phone charger, ice scraper, and emergency supplies in case you get stuck.

🧊 Prevent Slips & Falls
Salt icy walkways and driveways promptly. Wear shoes or boots with good traction when walking outside.

🔥 Use Heaters Safely
Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything flammable. Never use ovens or grills to heat your home, and always check that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

🥶 Watch for Frostbite & Hypothermia
Numbness, pale skin, shivering, confusion, and drowsiness can be warning signs. Get indoors and warm up immediately if symptoms appear.

👵 Check on Neighbors & Pets
Elderly neighbors and outdoor pets are especially vulnerable during extreme cold. A quick check-in can make a big difference.
