Cold weather can result in health issues, especially frostbite and hypothermia. Frostbite can occur within minutes of exposure. Some individuals are more at risk than others, including the elderly, those who work outside and people with chronic health conditions. To avoid cold-related health issues, safety experts recommend the following:

• Wear multiple layers of dry, loose-fitting clothing
• Wear a scarf, knit mask, hat, water resistant coat, gloves and water-resistant boots
• Avoid strenuous activities outdoors 
• If you must go outside, go back indoors as often as possible to warm up

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact 911 immediately for proper care.
