13 Ways to Be Better Prepared for Fall

 

Fall is here! Here are some steps to take to get ready for the colder seasons:

  • Have your Heat and Air unit checked and service?  Adjust temperature on thermostat for cooler nights but possible still warm days.
  • Have your gutters checked and cleaned to prevent water damage?
  • Disconnect outside hoses.
  • Check outside lighting.  Since it gets dark early, replace any blown out bulbs!
  • Remove leaves from sidewalks and steps.  They can be extremely slippery when wet.
  • Make sure you are wearing nonskid shoes in the rain or snow.
  • Change Batteries in Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detector
  • Replace Batteries in Flashlights/Lanterns in case of power outage (Safer to use than candles)
  • Get out your warmer clothes.
  • Contact your doctor about getting your flu shot
  • Be diligent about washing hands, sanitizing, and staying away from sick people.
  • Make sure you are eating healthy foods and or taking vitamins to boast your immune system
  • Exercise – you might need to change up your routine to indoor activities.

We hope this helps you! Have an amazing Fall season!
