Winter Is Here!

Are You Ready?
Did you know that an extreme cold warning is issued when temperatures or the wind chill index reach minus 40°C or colder.
Being exposed to these conditions, even for short periods, can be dangerous. Protect yourself and loved ones by:
- Staying indoors if possible
- If you have to travel, know your route ahead of time
- Have a well-stocked emergency kit in your vehicle
- Dress in warm, wind proof layers
- Watch for signs of frostbite
