Protect Pets

When cold weather is in the forecast, be sure to bring outdoor pets inside or give them a warm shelter to stay in.

 

STAYING INFORMED

Be sure to keep up with a reliable weather source to properly plan for the days ahead. Wind chill is just as important as temperature!

 

Protect Family

Remember to dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves. It is important to try to stay out of the wind and to stay dry.

 

Protect Pipes

Cover pipes and allow outdoor faucets to slowly drip to prevent them from freezing and breaking.

 

Practice Fire Safety

Use safe heating sources indoors. Do not use fuel-burning devices such as grills; they release carbon monoxide, which is a deadly gas. Also, make sure to use space heaters according to their instructions and be attentive to open flames.

 

Protect Plants

Cover cold sensitive plants to protect them from the dangerous temperatures.
