Question

List three recommendations from the article for staying safe in winter weather.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dressing in layers, wearing lip balm, knowing the signs of hypothermia and frostbites as well as how to react to them

Explanation:

Article warms about the dangers of the cold weather, saying that frostbites and hypothermia are the biggest dangers during the winter. These are most likely caused by wearing inadequate clothes and equipment during really low temperatures. Article lists precautions against these dangers and three of them are:

• Dressing in layers and adequate clothes – this is great in case of changing weather, so you can take the layer off in case you are too hot or put it back on when it begins to be too cold. Wool is best for the cold weather, as it keeps the health more than other fabrics. Always have a hat or a cap, and wear mittens instead of gloves, as they are warmer.
• Put on lip balm – this will protect your lips against chapping.
• Know signs of danger and first aid – you should know the signs of frostbites and hypothermia, so you can react quickly. On any sign of tingling or changes of the skin, you should react immediately. Shivering are signs of hypothermia, so when you start shivering search for a warm area and change clothes in case they are wet. Be sure to know first aid so you can help yourself and others in cases of danger.
