February is heart heath month. Your health is paramount. Be proactive in making sure your ticker is working as it should.
In an emergency CALL 911 immediately. Chest pain, short of breath or chest pressure are emergencies.

If someone you loves goes into cardiac arrest. Start CPR and call 911.

With power outages affecting millions this month, maintaining a safe internal environment is the priority.
• The "One-Room" Strategy: If the power goes out, pick one room to keep warm. Close all internal doors, seal window gaps with towels or plastic, and gather everyone (including pets) there to preserve collective body heat.
• Carbon Monoxide Awareness: Never use gas ovens, grills, or generators indoors. Carbon monoxide detectors are great to add to your smoke detectors.
• Hydration is Vital: Even though you don’t feel as thirsty in winter, dry indoor heat causes dehydration. Drink water or warm broth consistently; avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol, which can lead to faster heat loss.

Indoor Traction: Avoid wearing just socks on hardwood or tile floors; use slippers with rubber grips. Move loose rugs or electrical cords that could become tripping hazards in low-light conditions.
• Safe Shoveling: If you have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, do not shovel snow. The combination of cold air (which constricts arteries) and heavy lifting is a leading cause of winter heart attacks. If you must shovel, take a break every 15 minutes.
• The "Penguin Walk": When walking on icy surfaces, keep your center of gravity over your front leg. Take small, shuffling steps and keep your hands out of your pockets to maintain balance.

Across North Dakota, EMS providers show up every day and get the job done, often without much recognition. The NDEMSA Awards Program is one way we can take a moment to acknowledge those who put in the extra effort for their patients, partners, and communities.

Know someone who stands out? Take a few minutes to nominate a peer.

Deadline: February 21st at 5:00 PM CST
