In November, Hancock County Health Department folks showed us what we need in our cars to be safe during winter travel. This meeting, George Boaz will talk about preparing for being stuck at home for a few days. A representative from Greenfield Fire Department will go over space heater safety and proper use of generators.

Ready or not, here it comes.

Hancock County Health Department’s Kate Dennis and Keltsey Anderton gave a great presentation on the role of their department during disasters, including recognizing and treating frostbite and hypothermia at Thursday nights regular meeting of EMA/COAD volunteers.

A couple quick tips for this weekend: 1) Keep your car gas tank full, 2) Bring your garden hoses inside, 3) bundle up and 4) Get your car stocked up on essentials (Ice scraper, snow brush, gloves…)
