Extreme Cold Safety Information

What's Happening

Starting tonight at 7pm through Saturday 1pm we are going to be experiencing dangerously cold wind chills of 20° to 40° below zero. 

• IMPACTS:

  • Frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes

  • High risk of hypothermia, especially with prolonged exposure

  • Ruptured water pipes due to extended freezing temperatures

  • Conditions are well outside typical cold weather norms

These temperatures are especially dangerous for vulnerable populations including children, older adults, individuals without reliable heat, and anyone spending time outdoors.

How to Stay Safe

• Limit time outdoors whenever possible

• Wear layers, including hats, gloves, scarves, and insulated boots

• Cover all exposed skin

• Bring pets indoors or provide adequate shelter

• Check on neighbors, family members, and anyone who may need assistance

• Keep phones charged and emergency supplies accessible

Heating & Home Safety

• Keep indoor temperatures consistent

• Let faucets drip slightly to prevent frozen pipes

• Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate

• Use space heaters safely and never leave them unattended

Final Reminder

This level of cold can become life-threatening very quickly. Please take precautions, plan ahead, and help protect those around you.
