Winter Weather Safety Tips

 

Winter weather in central Texas can be unpredictable, but when temperatures fall into the 30’s or below remember the four “P’s” of safety:

• PEOPLE: Keep your family warm and check on any elderly family or neighbors that may need extra blankets, winterizing their homes or a warm place to stay.
• PETS:  Dogs and cats get cold too. Bring them inside at night to keep them healthy and safe.
• PLANTS:  Either cover plants to keep them warm at night or bring them inside so they can flourish.
• PIPES:  Cover exposed pipes to prevent freezing and breaks.

Please remember to turn off sprinklers when the temperature drops!
