Stay safe this winter, everyone!
In the event of inclement weather, please note that Seneca Nation Warming Centers WILL BE OPEN!
Please Remember During Extreme Weather Events:
If people need to be outside for prolonged periods of time, be sure to cover your nose, ears, chin, cheeks, fingers, and toes. Home heating safety is also important!
Space Heaters:
Turn space heaters off before going to sleep at night. Turn space heaters off when leaving the room for more than a few minutes. Position space heaters at least 3 feet away from furniture, drapes, and other Flammable items. Place heaters on a solid, flat surface. Connect heater directly to wall electrical outlet, not into an extension cord which can be a tripping hazard. Remember: Space heaters are designed to be temporary, not all-day heat sources
Fireplaces:
Always use a fireplace screen. Make sure the area around the fireplace is clear of anything that is potentially flammable. Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended. Make sure fire is completely out before going to bed or leaving the house. If you leave the room while the fire is burning or the fireplace is still hot, take your small child with you NEVER use an oven or stove as a heating source.
