❄️ Winter Weather Update ❄️
Very cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills are expected across Michigan through the weekend. These conditions can increase the risk of frostbite, hypothermia, and difficult travel, especially during overnight and early morning hours.
We want to help our community stay safe and prepared during the extreme cold. A few simple steps can make a big difference:
Cold Weather Safety Tips
• Limit time outdoors and dress in warm layers
• Watch for signs of frostbite (numbness or pale skin) and hypothermia (shivering, confusion, or extreme fatigue)
• Use space heaters, grills, and generators safely to prevent carbon monoxide exposure
• Take breaks and avoid overexertion when shoveling snow
• Check in on older adults, neighbors, and loved ones, and keep pets indoors
• If you must travel, keep your gas tank full and carry warm clothing, blankets, and a phone charger

Please take care, plan ahead, and stay warm.
