Tips For Staying Safe & Healthy During Winter (part 2 of 2)

Dress appropriately

Ensure you’re dressed for the weather with the right footwear and layers for warmth. Choose boots that are waterproof, lightweight, comfortable and have good quality lining or insulation to keep your feet warm.

Dressing in multiple layers will help you keep warm and reduce heat loss. As a guideline, wearing two or three thinner layers of loose-fitting clothing is usually warmer than a single thick layer.

Stock up on essentials

Be prepared in case of emergency. Keep your fridge, pantry and medication cabinet stocked with at least three to five days’ worth of supplies. Stock up on non-perishables and keep flashlights and batteries handy.
