Can you check the boxes?

❄ Winter Storm Safety Reminder: Check Your Neighbors! ❄

The snow and bitterly cold temperatures can be especially challenging for older adults. A quick check-in can make a big difference.
✅ Home: Is it warm and safe? Are walkways clear?
✅ Health: Are they alert? Taking medications? Need medical help?
✅ Daily Needs: Do they have food, water, and a way to call for help?

Reach out by phone, text, video call, or in person if it’s safe to travel. Let’s keep our community connected and safe! 💙
