The cold weather has arrived, and we want to ensure that APS students stay warm and safe. ❄️ If your student needs warm clothing, please contact HOPE at (575) 430-0191 or email them at HOPE@alamogordoschools.org. ❄️☔️ The New Mexico Department of Health recommends the following actions for staying safe in case of a winter storm: 🧤🧣 ▪️ Dress for the cold: Wear multiple layers, including hats, gloves, and scarves. Wool or synthetic fabrics are best as they retain heat even when damp. ▪️ Limit outdoor exposure: Stay indoors as much as possible. If you must go outside, keep trips brief and avoid overexertion. ▪️ Carbon monoxide precautions: Only use heating devices in well-ventilated areas. Avoid using grills, camp stoves, or generators indoors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Install CO detectors, where possible, and check batteries to ensure safety during power outages. ▪️ Prepare for power outages: Have a flashlight, extra batteries, and enough food and water for a few days. Check that all necessary medical supplies are accessible and if reliant on electronic devices, such as CPAP machines for sleep apnea, that they are fully charged. ▪️ Protect pets and pipes: Pets should be brought indoors during extreme weather. For pipes, keep indoor temperatures steady and open cabinets to allow any warm air to reach plumbing. Allow faucets to drip to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, which is a common hazard during sustained cold. ▪️ Vehicle preparedness: If travel is unavoidable, ensure your vehicle has winter-ready tires, a full tank of gas, blankets, food, and emergency supplies. Monitor road conditions via the New Mexico Road Advisory Hotline at 5-1-1 or https://nmroads.com. #Allin4OurKids #HerefortheKids
