• Wear warm layers.
• You can become dehydrated in cold weather too. Make sure you drink enough water.
• Keep your gas tank full.  Fuel lines can ice over and you want to avoid running out of gas while out in cold weather.
• Stay home during storms. Stay off the roads during bad weather. Ice on the roads and low visibility are the perfect environment for accidents.
• Prepare for unexpected emergencies.  Ensure you have plenty of water and foods that do not require heat.
• Keep an emergency kit in your car with first aid supplies, a blanket, flashlight, water, nuts or other snacks.
• Sprinkle cat litter on the ice patches on your sidewalk or stairs to prevent slips and falls.
• If you have pets, bring them inside.
• Install a CO (Carbon Monoxide) detector. Keep generators at least 20 ft away from your house. Keep grills, camp stoves, and generators out of the house.  This includes basements and garages.
• Learn the symptoms of CO poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.
• Check on elderly or chronically ill friends and family and neighbors.
