WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IN CASE
OF A WINTER EMERGENCY
Throughout the year, especially during the winter
months, the Guernsey County Senior Citizens Center
understands the necessity for senior citizens to stay
warm and remain safe. Our dedicated home delivered
meal and homemaking staffs will make every effort to
deliver/provide your in-home services during times of
inclement weather. It is our policy that all services
shall be provided daily Monday-Friday, except
during times of a Level III-Winter Storm Weather
Advisory. At any time during the winter it is
deemed necessary to delay, cancel, or postpone you
in-home services, or one of our activities, a
community announcement will be made on a
variety of local radio & TV stations and other
media venues. For your nutritional safety and
wellbeing Emergency shelf-ready meals consisting
of ready-to-eat items that require little or no
preparation are available through the Guernsey
County Senior Citizens Center. Please note that each
of our home delivered meal clients, who already
receive a supply of emergency shelf-ready meals for
emergency use or when the weather prohibits us from
gaining access to your home. Also, during periods of
hazardous driving conditions Guernsey County Senior
Citizens Center Senior Coordinated Transportation
program routes maybe limited to within City
corporation limits or along major routes and
thoroughfares. For additional information regarding
our emergency weather policies, obtaining emergency
meals, or to inquire about winter transportation
services, please contact the Guernsey County Senior
Citizens Center at 740-439-6681 or notify us toll-free
at 1-866534-2349.
Protect Yourself Against Hypothermia This Winter
Hypothermia happens when your body temperature
falls below 95 degrees Fahrenheit or 35 degrees
Centigrade. This can happen to an older person in a
poorly heated house in the winter. It might take several
hours or several days to develop. It can be a very
dangerous condition, especially for older adults. As
body temperature falls, all of the organs of the body
are affected. This condition occurs more in men than
women. The risk is higher if a person is malnourished,
has just been in an accident of some kind, or has heart
disease. Others at risk include people with liver
problems and endocrine disorders.
Page 19
Being covered with cold water makes a person very
vulnerable to hypothermia, whether by falling in water
or getting covered with freezing rain. Hypothermia can
also occur by being outside too long or without proper
clothing in very cold weather.
Symptoms of mild hypothermia include:
Sluggishness,
Mild confusion,
Shivering, and
Loss of control of fine finger movements.

Symptoms
of severe hypothermia include;
Delirium,
Blue color of the fingers and toes,
Rigid muscles, and
Possible coma.
Very cold skin,
Pupils that don’t change size in light or dark,
No pulse felt, and
No breathing.
Hypothermia is a serious medical condition. Call
911 for immediate emergency assistance.
To avoid hypothermia:
Eat well.
Dress warmly.
Dry off if you get wet.
About a quarter of your
body heat is lost from
the head, so always wear hats and scarves
when it is cold.
OTHER TIPS:
Use gloves or mittens in the winter. Avoid
alcohol before going out in the cold, because
alcohol lowers the body’s tolerance to cold.
Stay warm & indoors when temperatures drop
or become severe.
Have an emergency kit prepared-which
includes a flashlight, candles, blankets,
additional clothing, emergency-shelf ready
meals, nutrient bars, medications, bottled
water, alternative heating source, battery
operated radio, etc...in case of a power/heat
source outage in your home or roadside
emergency during inclement weather.
When the weather is bad or if you’re in
doubt—don't’ drive or go outside. Stay at
home or in the safety and comfort of others.
Always maintain an emergency safety
survival kit ( medicine; water; food; heat
source; flashlight; batteries; toilet paper &
disposable bags; snacks; shelf stable food;
first aid kit; candle; etc…)
