Prepare parking lot for winter

City of Northville issued the following announcement on Feb 2.

This from the Michigan State Police:

To stay safe during a winter storm:

• Stay indoors if possible. If you must go outside, wear protective gear, such as a hat, mittens, gloves, scarf and a warm coat.

• Avoid overexertion when shoveling heavy snow, pushing a car, or walking in deep snow. Take breaks frequently.

• Watch for signs of frostbite, which include loss of feeling or pale appearance of fingers, toes or face.

• Watch for signs of hypothermia, which include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, drowsiness and exhaustion.

• Check heating units. Poorly operating or damaged heating units can release carbon monoxide gas. Test carbon monoxide detectors for proper operation and battery life.

• Check on family, friends and neighbors who are at risk and may need additional assistance.
