With the winter weather expected this weekend, we want everyone to be prepared and safe:
🧊 Keep faucets dripping to relieve pressure on your plumbing system and prevent frozen pipes.
🌞 Open curtains during the day and close them at night. Let the sunlight naturally warm your home during the day.
🚪 Close doors to unoccupied rooms to help concentrate heat in the areas you’re using.
📺 Watch weather reports closely. Stay aware of changing winter conditions so you can adjust plans, gather supplies, and stay safe if warnings or advisories are issued.
🚗 Avoid unnecessary travel and winterize your vehicle if you must go out. Check tires, fluids, wipers, and emergency supplies before driving.
🧥 Dress in warm layers to help retain body heat.
🛒 Stock up on essentials like water, food, medications, and batteries. Prepare enough supplies to last several days in case travel becomes unsafe or power outages occur.
🐾 Bring pets inside. Cold temperatures can be dangerous for animals. Provide a warm, safe space indoors for all pets.
🤝 Check on elderly neighbors and vulnerable community members. Make sure they have heat, food, and needed supplies, especially during extended cold snaps.
🔋 Charge phones and backup batteries. A full charge ensures you can access emergency updates and stay connected even during outages.
Stay safe, stay warm, and look out for each other!💙
