Don't Be Haunted By Dead Batteries

During an emergency a wailing alarm may save your life. New York City law requires all residences to have both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, but these devices are only as good as the batteries inside them. OEM reminds New Yorkers to test their detectors frequently and replace the batteries every six months. Learn more about smoke and carbon monoxide safety Visit OEM online

Get Directions to Your Flu Injection

Fall's arrival also signals the start of flu season. The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get a flu shot. The City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has made it easier for New Yorkers to find a flu clinic with its new Flu Locator. Use the Locator to find your nearest clinic and details about hours and costs. Fight the flu before the flu fights you. Learn more about flu from NYC.gov/flu Visit OEM online

Don't Space Out on Your Space Heater

As the weather gets colder, New Yorkers will be looking for ways to warm their homes. If you use a portable heater, be sure to turn it off when you are not in the room, never leave it on at night, and never leave children alone in a room with a heater running. Not only will you prevent fire and carbon monoxide poisoning, but you will also conserve energy, something to consider during Energy Awareness Month.
