#Henrico is committed to building a safe, healthy community. Please take the survey if you're interested in learning bystander CPR. Free trainings will be offered to our residents in April through @HenricoEMWS. Survey: publicinput.com/cpr-interest
🩺♥⏳CPR can dramatically improve the chances of survival if its administered immediately to someone experiencing cardiac arrest.
Is your vehicle winter ready? For your safety, it's best practice to have an emergency car kit, especially when it's freezing, snowy, or icy outside. Make sure to include: 🔹 A flashlight 🔹 An ice scraper 🔹 A shovel 🔹 Blankets 🔹 Jumper cables More: ready.gov/car
#DYK that freezing rain can lead to icy roads and black ice? Stay safe if you must drive: ✅ Have an emergency kit in your car. ✅ Always wear your seatbelt. ✅ Drive slow and leave extra space between vehicles. ✅Keep your gas tank near full. More: ready.gov/car
Getting to know your neighbors is part of being prepared! You can: 🔹 Invite them to be part of your emergency plan. 🔹 Get to know their specific mobility or medical needs. 🔹 Ask how you can help them in case of a disaster. #ResolveToBeReady | ready.gov/plan
Wintertime high winds: - Secure items like toys, furniture, garbage cans, decorations, canopies/umbrellas & small potted plants - If there are large items outside your home that you can’t move indoors, secure them as needed with tie-downs or sandbags More: bit.ly/3tHN1aI
It's cold now, but it's expected to get even colder later this week! 🥶 Make sure you stay warm, keep your pets safe, and prepare your car and home.
Last day of Winter Weather #Preparedness Week! Driving in #WinterWeather: When the weather is bad and driving conditions are poor, the best bet is to stay at home. 🏡 If staying home is not possible, please follow these tips. ⤵️
