Colorado Winter Safety Checklist

Winter in Colorado is beautiful, but it brings unique challenges, especially for our

aging parents living at home. First, make sure their heating system is

serviced and ready. Check those carbon monoxide detectors too! Next, prepare an emergency

kit with essentials like food, water, blankets, and a battery-powered

radio. Who will clear snow and ice from walkways? Make sure there's

a plan in place for safety. Establish a regular check-in schedule. A daily call

can make all the difference in severe weather. Finally, ensure they stay

warm inside. Encourage layered clothing and warm drinks, even when the heat is on.
