Remember the 5 Ps of Cold Weather Safety:
Protect People: Dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves. It is important to try and stay out of the wind and to stay dry. Also, remember to check on young children and the elderly who are most sensitive to cold weather.
Protect Pets: If cold weather is in the forecast, be sure to bring outdoor pets inside or give them a warm shelter to stay in.
Protect Plants: Cover cold-sensitive plants to protect them from dangerous temperatures.
Protect Pipes: Cover exposed outdoor pipes and allow outdoor faucets to slowly drip to prevent 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, such as candles.
