If you or someone you know needs a warm place to stay safe during extreme cold, warming centers are available throughout the county.

Winter Safety Tips to Keep in Mind:
• Never use your oven for heat.
• Use grills and portable heaters safely, and unplug when not in use.
• Keep space heaters away from curtains or anything flammable.
• Let faucets drip slightly to help prevent frozen pipes.
• Stay active — a little movement helps your body stay warm.

To find a warming center near you, call or visit:

Stay safe and take care of one another! 🤍
