Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.

Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.

If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.

Make sure your home is well-insulated, the heating system is working efficiently and cracks and drafts are sealed.

Outdoor workers should take regularly scheduled breaks to warm up.
