On the long list of things, you want to get done during the holidays, a ride in an ambulance or stay in the hospital probably isn’t on it. Make this holiday memorable for all the right reasons by including these safety checks on your holiday checklists.
Remember: to protect ourselves and others this holiday season, we still must follow social wise public health guidelines.
Being prepared in 2021 means making sure you have what you need should you be required to self-isolate. Stock up on non-perishable foods, medical masks and hygiene supplies – but please, only buy what you need!
Protect yourself and others ahead of time by getting vaccinated. For more information about COVID-19 vaccines, visit Ottawa Public Health’s website.
Stock up on your prescription medications before the holidays. Drug stores, medical clinics and doctors’ offices often have reduced hours or be closed over the holidays.
If you’re going to drink, please drink responsibly and make a plan to get home safely if you need to go somewhere. Never ever drive when you are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (drunk or high).
If you are decorating with lights, candles or a real tree, you need to look at the 12 days of holiday fire safety.
During the holidays, make sure you have a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detectors. Have a fire escape plan and practice it with those in your household.
If someone, and no one in particular, fell down a chimney or off of a roof, would you know how to help? Here’s a list of common injuries and how to treat them.
Taking a break from gingerbread house building to take a wintery scenic drive? Don’t forget to review this car survival checklist and find out when out-of-town medical clinics are open for business, just in case.
While cooking, stay in the kitchen and never leave a pot unattended. As a rule of thumb: drinking and cooking don’t go together. Here are more ways of keeping food safe.
Give members of your household the gift of safety this year by stuffing their stockings with small items for their home and car emergency preparedness kits. Think flashlight, first aid kit, and candles. Or go big with some new tech and gadgets.
For more information on City programs and services, visit ottawa.ca, call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401) or 613-580-2400 to contact the City using Canada Video Relay Service. You can also connect with us through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
