Cold Weather Safety
Winter in Michigan is a celebrated season despite the extreme drops in temperature posing Dress warmly and stay dry: Be sure to dress in layers in wind resistant clothing. Wool, silk or polypropylene inner layers will hold more body heat than cotton. If your clothing is wet, go inside as soon as possible. When inside, remove the wet clothing as soon as possible.
• Avoid exertion: Cold weather can put extra strain on the heart. If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, follow your doctor’s advice about shoveling snow or other hard work in the cold. The body is already working hard to stay warm, so extra work can cause an overload.
• Cover exposed skin: Always wear a warm hat that covers ears, gloves or mittens that cover the full wrist, and a scarf or ski mask to protect face and neck.
• Be Safe During Recreation: Notify friends and family where you will be before you go hiking, camping, or skiing. Avoid perspiring or becoming overtired. Be prepared to take emergency shelter. Pack dry clothing, a two-wave radio, waterproof matches and paraffin fire starters with you. Do not use alcohol and other mood altering substances and avoid caffeinated beverages. Carefully watch for signs of cold-weather health problems. It is important to be aware of any changes in exposed skin during cold weather periods.
Frostbite and hypothermia are very serious conditions that may be prevented or slowed down by early recognition and treatment. Shivering can be a good indicator that it’s time to go in, as it is the first sign that the body is losing heat. If you are caring for an infant or senior citizen, be sure to frequently check that their homes are adequately heated. If heating is not at a safe level, making alternative housing arrangements is recommended.
Frostbitten skin is hard, pale, cold and has no feeling. When the frostbitten skin is in warm air, it will become red and painful. Very severe frostbite can cause blisters, gangrene (blackened dead tissue), and deep tissue damage in tendons, muscles, nerves and bones.
Hypothermia is a life-threatening condition that is caused by short exposure to extreme cold or long exposure to mild cold. Symptoms of hypothermia include trembling, stiffness of muscles, puffiness in the face, poor coordination, confusion, and low consciousness and reactivity.
If you suspect frostbite, hypothermia or other complications surrounding extreme weather, seek emergency medical care immediately.
With Winter Upon Us, Please Be advised of any closings due to Severe Weather….
In the event that Creative Empowerment Opportunities needs to close due to severe weather, please watch local television channel 2, 4 or 7 for closings or listen to WJR Radio. Also, you can go online to the news stations and see the closing lists. Please watch for the county and the service site that you attend. Thank You!
Please make sure to label all coats, hats, gloves, etc. with Person’s Served initials to prevent lost or mistaken items. Thank you!
Creative Empowerment Opportunities is following all recommended safety guidelines from the CDC and governing authorities:
1. Wearing a mask to help protect yourself and others!
2. Practicing social distancing and staying at least 6 feet apart from others; including in our company vans.
3. Washing hands often!
4. Covering coughs and sneezes!
5. Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces often! At CEO we sanitize our building areas and vehicles with a fogging machine, daily. CEO also has air purifiers for our rooms at each Empowerment Center.
6. Monitoring health daily
- Be alert for Covid-19 symptoms
- Take your temperature- A fever is 100.4 F
- Follow CDC guidelines if symptoms develop
7. We are participating in outdoor community activities as much as possible.
8. We are encouraging staff and Persons Served to avoid physical contact when greeting each other by using safe greetings, such as a wave, a nod, a bow, “air hugs”, saying, “ hello and how are you”, from a distance!

Holiday Stress Management Tips:
Don't abandon healthy habits. Don't let the holidays become a free-for-all. Overindulgence only adds to your stress and guilt.
Try these suggestions:
• Have a healthy snack before holiday meals so that you don't go overboard on sweets, cheese or drinks.
• Eat healthy meals.
• Get plenty of sleep.
• Include regular physical activity in your daily routine.
• Try deep-breathing exercises, meditation or yoga.
• Avoid excessive tobacco, alcohol and drug use.
• Be aware of how the information culture can produce undue stress, and adjust the time you spend reading news and social media as you see fit.
