Avoid tight clothing and tight shoes. Change long underwear and socks if they become damp or wet. Motion helps to increase body heat. Use extra blankets. Try to stay indoors during periods of ice and snow.
Many falls occur when ice is so thin that it is difficult to see.
Be careful in shady areas. Keep an emergency shelf of food. Have a home survival kit, including a flashlight, batteries, matches, candles and first-aid materials. Have your home heating system checked and serviced. Listen frequently to weather reports for storm warnings.
