The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website has an excellent section with tips for staying safe during severe weather. SERVPRO® of Lakewood-Ken Caryl offers these tips from the CDC for making sure older people and babies remain safe during a storm:

Babies

Infants less than one-year-old should never sleep in a cold room because they lose body heat more easily than adults. Follow these tips to keep your baby safe and warm during the extreme cold:

• Remove any pillows or other soft bedding. These can increase the risk of smothering and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
• Dress babies in warmer clothing such as footed pajamas, one-piece wearable blankets, or sleep sacks
• Try to maintain a warm temperature inside your home. If you’re not able to keep your home warm, make temporary arrangements to stay elsewhere.
• In an emergency, you can keep your baby warm using your own body heat. If you must sleep, take precautions to prevent rolling on or smothering your baby.

Older Adults

Older adults often make less body heat because of a slower metabolism and less physical activity. Check on elderly friends and neighbors often to make sure their homes are heated properly.
