'CO' is No-Go
As temperatures drop, you're probably turning up the thermostat. When heating your home, it's especially important to be aware of carbon monoxide (CO), a highly toxic gas that is both colorless and odorless. Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home, check it regularly, and take time to make sure all fuel-burning appliances, such as furnaces, boilers, hot water heaters, and dryers are properly vented. Learn more about the hazards associated with carbon monoxide Get winter weather health and safety tips Read OEM's Tip of the Week online
This blog and its author are in no (formal) way connected with the New York City Office of Emergency Management. The content has been pasted from the OEM "Tip of the Week" that can be subscribed to via the page http://www.nyc.gov/oemnews.
(This blog was created as an easy way for me to generate an RSS feed with the history of the tips, since I didn't see that anywhere on NYC.gov.)
September 2009 to June 2012, then occasionally: Also included FEMA "Tip of the Week" messages as they came through. I am not connected to FEMA or DHS in any way, either.
