Seasonal Tips
Winter Safety Tips: Winter safety is crucial for both personal well-being and property protection. Here are some winter safety tips to remember.
-
Winter Tires: Consider installing winter tires with proper tread depth for better traction on snow and ice.
Slow Down: Reduce your speed and increase following distance to account for slippery roads.
Brake Gently: Apply brakes gently to avoid skidding. If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS), apply steady pressure.
Clear Snow: Before driving, remove all snow and ice from your vehicle, including windows, mirrors, lights, and the roof.
Stay Informed: Check weather and road conditions before heading out, and consider delaying travel during severe winter storms.
Emergency Kit: Carry an emergency kit in your vehicle, including items like a flashlight, blanket, extra clothing, non-perishable food, and a cell phone charger.
-
Walk Carefully: Take shorter steps and walk slowly to maintain balance on icy or snowy sidewalks and pathways.
Footwear: Wear shoes or boots with good traction and non-slip soles. Consider adding ice cleats for additional grip.
Handrails: Always use handrails when available, especially when navigating stairs or ramps.
-
Heating Safety: Keep flammable materials away from heaters and never leave them unattended.
Emergency Supplies: Prepare an emergency kit that includes blankets, flashlights, batteries, non-perishable food, bottled water, and a first-aid kit. Store it in an easily accessible location in case of power outages or emergencies.
Candle Safety: If you use candles, never leave them unattended, and place them on stable surfaces away from flammable materials.
Winter Clothing: Dress warmly when going outside in cold weather. Wear layers, a winter coat, gloves, a hat, and waterproof boots to stay dry and warm.
Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of important emergency contacts. Be sure that you update the management office with your current phone number and email address, as well as your emergency contacts.
Crack Your Windows: In the winter months please be sure to vent your apartment by cracking a window to let cool air in as the new windows are very air tight and changing the air in the apartment will keep the air flowing.
