Neumont's November Safety Tips

Neumont After the winter's first big snow storm

Because we take the safety of our Neumont community very seriously, we feel it would be helpful to begin a monthly email containing safety tips that all of us can implement ...

Now that we are approaching the winter months it is a great time to focus on a few small things that will make a big difference in the case of an emergency.   Please take a moment to read this month’s tips on how to stay safe as the cold season approaches.

November Safety Tips

• It’s November, and here in Utah the weather and traffic can be unpredictable.  Because of that, always make sure to carry a few extra items in your car during the cold months.  A good start would be: a flashlight, extra gloves, a few water bottles, a spare jacket or coat, a blanket, and jumper cables.  These items will help you if and when you find yourself stuck or stranded, and can be easily stowed in your trunk.
• Next, I would recommend a good pair of walking shoes and extra socks (also in your trunk.)  If you get stuck and help isn’t close, you may have to walk a bit in order to get help, and a pair of comfortable shoes will really come in handy.
• Finally, try to fill-up your gas tank when you hit the half-full mark.  The last thing you want is to run out of gas in bad weather or unsafe traffic.  Keeping your tank at least half full insures you extra time and travel in case an emergency hits.
