Cold Weather Safety:

Bitterly cold temperatures this week will put people who spend any amount of time outside at risk for hypothermia and frostbite.

***If you notice signs of frostbite or hypothermia on yourself or someone else, seek medical care. ***

• Hypothermia is a medical emergency. Hypothermia is caused by prolonged exposures to very cold temperatures., and your body begins to lose heat faster than it’s produced and lowers body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia especially dangerous, because a person may not know that it’s happening and won’t be able to do anything about it.
• Frostbite is a type of injury caused by freezing. It leads to a loss of feeling and color in the areas it affects, usually extremities such as the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, and toes. Frostbite can permanently damage the body, and severe cases can lead to amputation. A person who has frostbite may not know they have it until someone else points it out because the frozen parts of their body are numb.

Protect pets and livestock; keep them inside and check them for signs of distress.

Frozen water pipes can burst and cause serious damage to your home. Protect your pipes and property; the American Red Cross has info on preventing frozen pipes , and what to do if they do freeze.
