MEMA releases cold weather tips

MEMA has released some cold weather reminders this week, including ways to protect your home and pets.

Remember to insulate your pipes and outdoor faucets and let those faucets drip slightly when there is a threat of a freeze.

It might be a good time as well to make sure your first-aid kit is up to date. Make sure you have extra blankets on hand.

Also, know the risks of using space heaters and make sure your space heater is set up safely and responsibly.
