Winter is here, and so are slippery sidewalks!

Slips and falls injure about 1 million U.S. adults each year, and risks rise as temperatures drop. Protect yourself this winter:
• Wear proper footwear (boots + snow grips)
• Walk slowly and take small “penguin” steps
• Use handrails or a cane if needed
• Stay inside on icy days when possible

If you fall, try to land on your butt or back and wait for help.
Be careful, stay aware, and enjoy a safe Maine winter!

When temps drop, your skin and even your core body temperature can freeze faster than you think.

Watch for warning signs:
👉 Frostbite: numb or tingling skin, pale/gray/yellow patches, skin that feels hard or waxy.
👉 Hypothermia: intense shivering (or no shivering later on), slurred speech, clumsiness, confusion, weak pulse.

High-risk situations: wet clothing, strong wind chill, long time outdoors, outdoor work, being stranded in a cold car, or alcohol use.

Prevent it: Dress in layers (dry → warm → windproof), keep skin covered, stay dry, limit time outside, and take warm-up breaks. Keep extra gloves, socks, and blankets in your vehicle.

If someone shows signs: Move them somewhere warm, remove wet clothing, warm slowly with blankets, and don’t rub frostbitten skin. Call for emergency help if there’s confusion, no shivering, or blistered/blackened skin.

Stay safe and stay warm! ❄️🧤

As the cold sets in, heaters, fireplaces, and generators can keep you warm—but using them incorrectly can harm your health.

🔥 Carbon Monoxide Risks
• Never use fuel-burning heaters indoors.
• Keep generators 20+ feet from your home.
• Test CO detectors—watch for symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, or confusion.

🔥 Heater & Fireplace Safety
• Keep space heaters 3 feet from anything flammable.
• Plug heaters directly into wall outlets.
• Clean fireplaces/chimneys and test smoke alarms to avoid smoke inhalation and fire risks.

Stay warm, stay healthy, stay safe. ❄️🏠
