Preparing for frigid conditions

Staying safe during frigid conditions is essential. Cold-related health risks and road accidents are the most common in extreme temperatures. It would be difficult to cope and dangerous if you are not mindful.

While people in South Korea and Japan are used to colder weather, the elderly would be the most vulnerable.

Here are important reminders in extreme temperatures and cold weather events.

Understand the weather conditions

Temperatures can plummet, from a sudden rebound to a warm environment to colder weather.

Weather forecasts issue cold weather alerts, which motorists and residents can anticipate.

Knowing the current weather conditions would help homeowners prepare for extreme events.

Stay warm during extreme cold events

There are ways to stay warm during freezing conditions.

You can turn on your heating system, especially at night when temperatures drop or become colder.
Dress in layered clothes to stay warm. Cover your hands with gloves and your feet with boots. A hat covering your head would also be the best!
Stay active at home if you can maintain blood flow and generate heat.
Eat warm and nutritious food during extreme weather events.

Go out when necessary

As possible, family members should be at home during cold weather or limit outdoor activities when it is needed.

Prolonged exposure to colder weather can lead to hypothermia and frostbite. Homeowners should monitor the body temperatures of people vulnerable to cold weather.

According to the CDC advisory on hypothermia and frostbite, both are hazardous conditions. The report said that the common signs of hypothermia are confusion, numbness, exhaustion and slurred speech.

Ready emergency kits

Homeowners should ensure that they prepare ready emergency kits for extreme weather events. There is a high chance that travel would be difficult, especially at night.

The emergency kit or bag should have warm blankets, bottled water, battery-powered radio, medicines, a first aid kit and non-perishable food supplies.
