Believe it or
not, flu can happen in the early spring, too. The best way to protect
yourself is with the vaccination. Aside from vaccinations there are also
small adjustments to your daily habits that can help keep you and those
around you healthy: washing your hands often with soap and water, and
covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze with a tissue or the inside
of your elbow (NOT your hands!). If you do get sick, make sure to stay
home from school or work and don't return until you're fever free for at
least 24 hours.

emergency plan. Take some time to think about how you will protect your
pet in the event of an emergency: 
<ul>
<li>Record important information about your pet so that you can easily
access it during a disaster.</li>
<li>Think about where you will go with your pet and how you will get there
if you have to leave home during an emergency. If an emergency prevents
you from getting home to them, consider what you will do to keep them
safe.</li>
<li>Gather supplies that are best suited for your pet's needs.</li>

the seasons change. The trick is knowing how to handle each one. This
season, make sure you winterize your emergency plan. Get started by
including new emergency supplies to your home, Go Bag, and car. Add such
items as warm socks, gloves, a hat, and blankets, so you are prepared
whether staying put or heading out.

Do you have a way to keep warm? Before you get cozy, make sure you heat your home safely by following these tips:
<ul>
<li>Maintain your fireplace by having your chimney inspected, and keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace opening.</li>
<li>If you use other heat sources like space heaters, remember to use portable heating equipment that is approved for indoor use - improper use of portable heating equipment can lead to fire or dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.</li>
<li>Never drape clothes over a space heater to dry.</li>
<li>Never use the kitchen oven or gas range to heat your home or apartment.</li>
<li>Every resident is entitled to heat and hot water. Tenants without adequate heat or hot water should first speak with the building owner, manager, or superintendent. If the problem is not corrected, tenants should call 311.</li>
</ul>

Candles can cause fires, especially when left unattended. Flashlights, on the other hand, last longer and are safer to use. If you do burn candles for religious or decorative purposes, take the steps to ensure you're safe. Keep candles away from curtains or other flammable materials and make sure they are in secure metal, glass, or ceramic holders. <img src="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/includes/site_images/misc/arrow2.gif" />Check out additional candle safety tips from <a href="http://www.fdnysmart.org/flash-facts/">FDNYSmart.org</a> <img src="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/includes/site_images/misc/arrow2.gif" /><a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/home/home.shtml#tip">Read the Tip of the Week online</a> <img src="http://www.nyc.gov:80/mt?g=1.mq4fd.novz.rs.0.lxa9v.-4h9w9o" /></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycoemtips.blogspot.com/feeds/7191619153060621390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7118739157156628778/7191619153060621390' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7118739157156628778/posts/default/7191619153060621390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7118739157156628778/posts/default/7191619153060621390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycoemtips.blogspot.com/2015/12/candles-are-no-match-for-flashlights.html' title='Candles Are No Match for Flashlights'/><author><name>Mark E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04885452385934106824</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lbM3KwtIhAUPwHkyFT6MHHdeZNHtfk1UWT4bEmUxntcbE1ZTS6LgZd2Z3m19OOTDhCRH0FQjtp_4ItQQcFqXdNV_5uG0SSNaQaAFd_4QVJ8DYywbfrFWWR4mKigvoIs/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118739157156628778.post-8941227976240320998</id><published>2015-11-30T14:04:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2015-12-14T19:39:10.180-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="family"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hurricane"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="planning"/><title type='text'>End of Hurricane Season, but Not Emergencies</title><content type='html'><img align="left" alt="emergency plan" src="http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/em/images/content/TOTW/wany_thestorm_myeplan_95.jpg" height="95" hspace="8" vspace="4" width="95" />Hurricane season may be ending, but that shouldn't stop you from being prepared.

Things may get crazed, but be sure to set aside some time to talk with your family about what to do in the event of an emergency. Schedule a family meeting or talk during a family meal and discuss the following:
<ul>
<li>Meeting places: one near your home and one outside your neighborhood where you and your family can reunite after an emergency.</li>
<li>An out-of-state family member or friend that can be used so you and your loved ones can keep in touch.</li>
<li>What emergency supplies you will need in the event of an evacuation and for a shelter-in-place emergency.</li>
</ul>
You can make a plan with help from the Ready NYC app (available for <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ready-nyc/id633614907?mt=8">Apple</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.nyc.oem.readynyc">Android</a> phones and tablets) and share it with your family members. Children too small to memorize this information could carry an <a href="http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/em/downloads/pdf/emergency_reference_card.pdf">Emergency Reference Card</a> that lists emergency information. <img src="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/includes/site_images/misc/arrow2.gif" /><a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/home/home.shtml#tip">Read the Tip of the Week online</a>

Get an A+ in emergency preparedness by taking time to check on your emergency supplies. Review what you have on hand, and add any old or expired items to your back-to-school shopping list.
