Keep these cold weather tips in mind to help you and others stay safe during the winter season. Be sure to prepare before, act during and recover after inclement weather events.

  • If using a space heater, be sure to keep it away from any flammable items.
  • To help prevent pipes from freezing, turn water off if you’re not using it, wrap pipes in extra installation, or make sure the room is heated where inside pipes are located.
  • Never use your oven or range top as a source to heat the building.
  • Make sure your heating system, water heater and any other natural gas appliances are serviced and inspected annually by a qualified licensed professional.
  • If using a fireplace, be sure to use a screen or cover to catch any embers or sparks that may fly out.
  • Be sure to keep an eye on pets and elderly at this time as they may be susceptible to frostbite or hypothermia.
