12 DAYS OF SAFETY 🎁 Day 12 😃 Shorter days, colder weather, and the post-holiday letdown can take a real toll on mental health in January. Combat the "January Blues" with exercise, spending time outdoors, and finding ways to stay connected with friends and family. If feelings persist and start to affect daily activities, seek help from a mental health professional. ❤️

12 DAYS OF SAFETY 🎁 Day 11 😃 HazMaddie the Center Elf wants to make sure you know how to enjoy fun outdoors this winter and stay safe from hypothermia. Just remember the acronym COLD — cover, overexertion, layers, dry!

❄ Cover. Wear a hat or other protective covering to prevent body heat from escaping from your head, face and neck. Cover your hands with mittens instead of gloves.

❄ Overexertion. Avoid activities that cause a lot of sweat. The combination of wet clothing and cold weather can cause the body to lose heat more quickly.

❄ Layers. Wear loosefitting, layered, lightweight clothing. Outer clothing made of tightly woven, water-repellent material is best for wind protection. Wool, silk or polypropylene inner layers hold body heat better than cotton does.

❄ Dry. Stay as dry as possible. Get out of wet clothing as soon as possible. Be especially careful to keep your hands and feet dry, as it's easy for snow to get into mittens and boots.

12 DAYS OF SAFETY 🎁 Day 8 😃 Poor HazMaddie! While it’s important to stay active during the winter, getting out in the snow and on the ice can increase your chances of falling, which is just what happened to Center Elf HazMaddie. To avoid slips and falls this winter, make sure you wear shoes that have good traction and focus on where you’re going so you can avoid icy patches.

12 DAYS OF SAFETY 🎁 Day 7 😃 HazMaddie the Center Elf knows that one of the best things she can do to stay safe and healthy in the coming year is schedule an annual wellness visit with her doctor and make sure she's up-to-date on all her vaccines. It also isn't too late to get a flu shot while she's there! Getting a shot protects against multiple circulating strains and reduces risk of severe complications, hospitalization, and death.

12 DAYS OF SAFETY 🎁 DAY 6 😃 Uh oh! Santa brought HazMaddie the Center Elf some gifts powered by lithium ion batteries. But thankfully she knows how to use them safely:

⚡Only use devices, batteries, and charging equipment that are listed and labeled by a nationally recognized testing lab such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

⚡Always follow manufacturer instructions.

⚡Make sure batteries are installed in the device correctly.

⚡Remove the device from the charger once charging is complete.

⚡ Keep batteries at room temperature. Do not charge at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or above 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store in direct sunlight or inside hot vehicles.

⚡Only charge one device or battery at a time.

⚡Never charge small electronics on a bed or couch, under a pillow or between cushions, and near anything combustible.

⚡Do not store or charge devices such as E-Bikes, E-Scooters, and other micro-mobility devices in the exit paths of your home or business.

⚡Stop using your device if you notice problems with the battery or charger. Signs include: unusual odor, change of color, too much heat, change in shape or swelling, leaking and smoking.

12 DAYS of SAFETY 🎁 DAY 5 😃 HazMaddie the Center Elf knows that colder months bring added risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from heaters, generators, and fireplaces. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can build up from running fuel-burning devices indoors. That's why she always has a carbon monoxide alarm in her home, replaces the batteries regularly, and carries a portable detector when traveling.

12 DAYS of SAFETY 🎁 DAY 4 😃 If you're feeling under the weather after all the celebrating, stay home. The holiday season is a high-risk period for disease spread due to increased travel, indoor gatherings, and disrupted routines that can weaken the immune system. Common illnesses like influenza, COVID-19, RSV, and norovirus often surge during this time. Staying home can reduce further spread.
