Winter Home Safety 🌨️

November brings increased safety hazards as colder weather, holiday cooking, and early darkness raise risks of fire, slips, and accidents.

🌨️ Egress pathways:
Keep exits safe by keeping objects (such as decorations and toys) clear of the exit route. Clear both front and rear exit walkways of snow and ice to avoid slips, trips, and falls.

🌨️ Electrical Outlets:
To avoid overloading electrical circuits on Thanksgiving, plug high-wattage kitchen appliances (such as crock pots and warming plates) into separate circuits to prevent tripped breakers or fire hazards. Avoid using power strips; plug appliances directly into the wall. Calculate amperage by using this formula: Watts divided by Volts = Amps. ex. 1500W / 110V = 13.64A.

🌨️ Food safety:
Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold on Thanksgiving. Use a food thermometer to ensure dishes reach safe temperatures and refrigerate leftovers within two hours. Leftovers are safe to eat for 3-4 days when stored properly.

🌨️ Emergency Preparedness:
Maintain a box of essential emergency supplies, including flashlights, extra batteries, and portable power banks for charging phones. In addition to non-perishable food, water, and a manual can opener. A first aid kit, personal hygiene items, and pet food and water should also be included.

🌨️ Seasonal Driving Challenges

Winter weather presents challenges not only on the road, but cooler temperatures can also affect your vehicle or cause unexpected issues. As winter approaches, it is essential to check key components of your vehicle and consider the following safe driving practices:

🌨️ Windshield wipers and lights:
Inspect the windshield wipers and check the washer fluid levels. Replace worn blades and use winter-grade washer fluid. Visually inspect the headlights, taillights, and hazards to ensure they are all functioning properly.

🌨️ Test your battery:
Cold weather can weaken batteries, and older batteries may fail unexpectedly.

🌨️ Check the HVAC system:
Check the coolant levels and verify warm air is flowing. Ensure the ventilation system is clear of leaves and debris to prevent airflow issues.

🌨️ Increase braking distance:
In bad weather, slow down and increase your braking and following distances. Slick roads can reduce traction and increase stopping distance by 30-50%.

🌨️ Use caution in pedestrian zones:
In 2023, 7,314 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes. Slow down and exercise extra caution at nighttime or in bad weather. Pedestrians can be harder to see and may appear suddenly.

🌨️ Black ice:
Stay alert, especially on bridges and shaded roads, as black ice can be nearly invisible and difficult to detect. If you encounter black ice, stay calm, lift off the accelerator, avoid sudden movements, and brake carefully.

The nation was attacked at Pearl Harbor 84 years ago today, on Dec. 7, 1941.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it "a date which will live in infamy".

Today, we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.
