Do you know the difference between a Flood Warning and a Flood Watch? A warning means “Take Action Now!” because flooding is imminent or already occurring. If advised to evacuate, do so immediately. A watch means “Be Prepared” because flooding is possible within your area. http://www.floodsafety.noaa.gov/watch_warning.shtml

With the large amount of snow we’ve recently received, please take a few minutes to check the exhaust vents around your home.

Many furnaces and water heaters vent through pipes on the side of the house. When these vents become blocked by snow or ice, dangerous carbon monoxide can build up inside the home.

Please take a few minutes to check:

• Make sure furnace and water heater vents are clear of snow and ice
• Clear at least a couple feet of space around vent openings
• Check vents periodically, as drifting snow can cover them again
• Ensure your home has working carbon monoxide detectors ⚠️

A quick check outside can help prevent a serious hazard inside your home.

February is Heart Month! In a cardiac emergency, the first responder is you. Saving a life takes knowledge and courage, not medical training.
If a teen or adult collapses, start Hands-Only CPR. It has just two steps: Call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.
If interested in learning Hands Only CPR, give Shane a call at the Health Department and we can add you to a list, for when we do our next community training. 608-847-9373.
