Winter 2026 Safety Message.pdf

When temperatures drop, keeping your home safe and warm is just as important as staying cozy yourself. Here are a few key reminders:

• Protect Your Pipes – Let faucets drip slightly overnight to prevent freezing, and insulate exposed pipes.

• Heat Safely – Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything flammable, and never leave them unattended.

• Check Detectors – Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure they’re working properly.

• Seal & Insulate – Close gaps around windows and doors to keep heat in and cold out.

• Stay Prepared – Keep extra blankets, flashlights, and batteries handy in case of a power outage.

A little preparation now can prevent big problems later — and keep your home a safe, warm haven all winter long.
