Ohio’s Winter Safety Awareness
The Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management (CCOEM) would like to remind all residents to prepare their homes, schools, businesses and communities for the upcoming months of potential severe winter weather. Snow and ice storms, flooding from rapid thaws, extended power outages caused by winter storms, and illnesses caused by hypothermia or influenza are more likely to occur during the winter months.
Cuyahoga County residents can prepare for winter hazards by updating their preparedness kits; preparing emergency plans and contact lists; updating flood insurance policies, purchasing NOAA weather radios; investing in alternative heat source and generators; and wintering their vehicles. To help ensure the community is prepared, CCOEM is providing winter preparedness fact sheets (below). Additional preparedness tips and information can be found at ReadyCuyahoga at http://ready.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/General-Public.aspx.

Tips to Help Protect Against Mosquito Bites:
- Apply an EPA-registered insect repellent before heading outside.
- Wear long sleeves and pants outside from dawn to dusk, which is prime time for most mosquito activity.
- Empty any standing water from bird baths, flower planters as well as toys and playground equipment outside the home to help prevent water from collecting. Mosquitoes only need a small amount of water – just a few inches – to breed.
- Clean gutters and downspouts regularly or cover them with mesh to help prevent leaves and debris from collecting and holding water.
- Make sure screens around the home, both on windows and doors, fit tightly and have no holes to help keep mosquitoes from making their way into the house.
- Eliminate standing water inside the home that may attract mosquitoes to spaces like kitchen sinks and pet bowls.
