Cold Weather Safety

Cold weather safety involves taking precautions to prevent illness and injury when temperatures drop. Dress in layered, insulating clothing, covering extremities to avoid frostbite and hypothermia. Keep dry, as moisture increases heat loss. Limit time outdoors in severe cold, and know the signs of cold-related issues like shivering, numbness, and confusion. Stay active to generate body heat but avoid overexertion. If outdoors, seek shelter when possible and stay dry. Ensure your vehicle is prepared for winter conditions, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Proper planning and awareness can significantly reduce Cold Weather risks and protect your health.
