Winter Weather Tips and Resources

• Avoid unnecessary travel.
• Visit www.511la.org for the most up-to-date travel advisories.
• Walk Like a Penguin! Point your feet slightly outward, keeping your center of balance underneath you, and walk flat on your feet.
• Use wood stoves, fireplaces, or space heaters carefully. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure they are at least 3 feet away from drapes, furniture, or bedding.
• Generators should be located at least 20 feet from any window, door, or vent and in a space where rain and snow will not reach them.
• Eating well-balanced meals will help you stay warmer. Alcoholic or caffeinated beverages cause your body to lose heat faster.
