PRECAUTIONS:
A freeze watch means temperatures may drop into the mid-20s or
lower for two or more hours… with a prolonged period of subfreezing
temperatures. These conditions can kill
crops and can also be harmful to persons not properly dressed for the cold as
well as sensitive to outdoor pets. A hard freeze can cause unprotected pipes to
burst. Unprotected pipes are usually confined
to trailers and houses on stilts along the coast.
- Please check on your elderly neighbors to make sure that will be safe and warm.
- Pets should be brought indoors early.
- Precautions should be taken to protect cold sensitive plants and vegetation.
- Make sure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order.
- Never leave a portable heating source unattended.
- Keep all flammable materials a safe distance from heaters.
- Never ever overload a circuit with too many appliances.
This has been a Public Service Announcement brought to you by
Franklin County Emergency Management and the United Firefighters of Franklin
County.
