Staying active indoors helps boost energy, mood, and overall wellness during the colder months.

Try this:
✔️ Morning stretches
✔️ Indoor walking or step challenges
✔️ Strength exercises using body weight
✔️ Mindful movement like yoga or Pilates

Your health doesn’t hibernate — and neither do we. 💙

• Use battery-powered lights (avoid candles)
• Keep water, medications, and shelf-stable food on hand
• Check on elderly neighbors and those with medical needs

🧒 Children
• Keep children warm with layers and blankets
• Provide warm meals and drinks when possible
• Keep kids away from generators, heaters, and icy areas

🐶 Pets
• Bring pets indoors or into insulated shelters
• Provide extra bedding and food
• Make sure water bowls don’t freeze

🏠 Homes
• Drip faucets to prevent frozen pipes
• Open cabinets under sinks
• Use generators outdoors only and keep carbon monoxide detectors working

🚗 Automobiles
• Keep gas tanks at least half full
• Store emergency supplies (blankets, food, flashlight)

💙 Preparedness saves lives.
Stay warm. Stay safe. Check on one another.
