Tips to stay safe during the winter season

CONCORD — As winter settles in across New Hampshire, New Hampshire public safety officials are reminding residents and visitors to prepare and take precautions to protect themselves, their families and their communities from seasonal hazards.

“Winter in our state brings both beauty and challenges,” said New Hampshire Department of Safety Assistant Commissioner Eddie Edwards. “Snow, ice and frigid temperatures; slick roads; exhaustive outdoor cleanups; fireplaces roaring to keep warm. These challenges require all of us to be vigilant and take extra precautions to stay safe during severe weather, holiday travel and winter activities.”
