Just a reminder, WINTER IS COMING!

With subfreezing temperatures on the way, it's important to remember the "4' P's" during Winter Weather. People, Pets. Pipes, and Plants are all vulnerable during cold temperatures.

❄️People: Check on vulnerable family, friends, and neighbors. Minimize time outdoors. Prepare for power outages.

❄️Pets: Bring your pets inside. If it's too cold for you, its too cold for your pet.

❄️Pipes: Cover and insulate pipes when temperatures are expected to be freezing or below. Open up sink cabinets to expose pipes to heated air.

❄️Plants: Bring plants inside if you can, or cover them to help them stay warm.

Also, you should also practice fire safety. If you are using a space heater, place it on a level, hard surface and keep flammable objects at least 3 feet away. Turn off your space heaters before you go to bed. Do not use fuel-burning devices such as grills, they release deadly carbon monoxide.
