The Public Service Announcement shared a few tips to ensure that Chicagoans stay warm during extreme cold weather.

Cold-Weather Tips

• Motorists should take extra precautions to winterize vehicles and have necessary supplies on-the-go. Keep in mind, disabled vehicles or distracted driving can cause accidents, impact traffic, or require emergency services.

• Residents should know the signs in case of frostbite and hypothermia. For Winter preparation information visit, Chicago.gov/OEMC for details and links to other local, state, and federal resources.

• Avoid unnecessary trips outside. If you must go out, limit the time you stay outside.

• Wear several layers of loose, warm cloth.

• Keep your head, hands, and feet covered outdoors.

• Stay dry because moisture can damage the insulation effectiveness of clothing.

• Pay extra attention to your daily needs: get enough sleep, eat high energy foods, drink warm beverages to help your body stay warm, and avoid alcoholic beverages.
