Bring pets inside
Be prepared to take care of yourself in the case of widespread power outages
Have a battery powered or hand-crank radio and extra batteries on hand.
Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow, working or recreating outside, no matter your age or physical condition.
Always wear proper cold-weather apparel: gloves/mittens, hats, scarves and snow boots. Dress in several layers of loose-fitting clothing and cover your face and mouth if possible.
Be aware of the wind chill factor
Stay dry. If you become wet, head indoors and change wet clothing immediately.
Limit your and/or children's time outdoors.
Do not ignore shivering. It's an important first sign that the body is losing heat. Persistent shivering means it's time to go back inside.
Check on others who may not be able to care for themselves
