Winter chills are coming soon to #Iowa, & many will use space #heaters to stay warm. Heaters are a leading cause of home fires. ☑️ Plug heater directly into wall outlet ☑️ Place heater 3 ft. away from other items ☑️ Turn it off when leaving room https://t.co/vjlYFIgKP6

When temps drop & the winter chill arrives, be sure to dress in layers & limit time outdoors to prevent frostbite & hypothermia. Check on neighbors, friends & family that might need assistance during the winter months. https://t.co/j5WaWPBrcy

If you are cold, your pets are cold, too! 🥶 🐶 It's a common belief that pets are more resistant to cold weather due to their fur, but it's untrue. Like people, pets are susceptible to frostbite & hypothermia & should be kept inside during cold spells. #WinterWeatherAwareness

Fog has been a nuisance in #Iowa lately. If #fog reduces your driving visibility, do not change lanes or pass vehicles unless it is absolutely necessary. Slow down, turn on headlights, & leave extra space between you & the car ahead of you. https://t.co/vjlYFIgcZy
