December is Winter Safety Month

As temperatures drop, it’s important to take a few simple steps to stay safe this winter. Dress in warm layers, limit time outdoors during extreme cold, and watch for signs of frostbite or hypothermia. Keep walkways and steps clear of snow and ice to prevent falls, and use caution when driving on slick roads. If using space heaters, follow all safety guidelines and never leave them unattended. Preparing early and staying aware of changing weather conditions can help keep you and your family safe all season long.
