Fall safety
The Glocester Emergency Management Agency has published a fall safety checklist and is advising residents to take action now to prepare for winter. Residents are advised to update their emergency safety kits and replace expired food, medication and water. Homeowners should test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace batteries if needed, and inspect furnace filters and chimneys.
Residents are also reminded to place leaves in bags and containers, not blow them into the street as they can freeze and leave roads icy and slick. As it gets dark earlier, those outdoors should also take caution in the evening to make sure they are visible to motorists.
