Our area is experiencing extreme cold that is unusual for our area. Please take a look at this link from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Keeping track of elderly and those with health issues is important at these times, especially if power goes out. Proper preparedness is also very crucial for those who may not be able to care for themselves.
