Prepare for Winter Weather

With cold temperatures in North Texas, it’s time to remember the 4 Ps of Winter Preparedness:

• People: Check on neighbors, friends and family to ensure they are staying warm and safe.
• Pets: Bring pets indoors or provide adequate shelter and warmth if they absolutely must stay outside.
• Plants: Cover outdoor plants or bring them inside.
• Pipes: Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and disconnect outdoor hoses. Leave indoor faucets at a drip.
