Cold Weather Safety Tips for Residents


On the Roads

    • Roads can become slick quickly, even with minimal snow. Slow down, leave extra space, and watch for black ice.

    • Allow extra travel time and check local traffic/weather updates before heading out.

At Home

    • Protect pipes by letting faucets drip and keeping indoor temperatures steady.

    • Use space heaters and fireplaces safely — keep flammable items at least 3 feet away and monitor for carbon monoxide risks.

For People & Pets

    • Dress in layers: base layer, insulation, and wind-resistant outer layer to retain heat.

    • Keep children and pets indoors when temperatures drop.

In Your Car

    • Keep a winter safety kit with blankets, water, snacks, flashlight, phone charger, and ice scraper.

    • If stranded, stay with the vehicle until help arrives.
