#GovNL is encouraging residents across the province to take precautions to protect their health from extreme cold weather conditions, which are expected this week. The risk of adverse health effects increases when wind chill values fall below –27°C. Potential impacts include windburn, frostbite, and hypothermia. These risks can be reduced by wearing appropriate clothing and limiting time outdoors as much as possible. Remember to: ➡️ Check in on your loved ones, particularly those who are older and live alone. ➡️ Protect your pets from exposure to extreme cold conditions. Individuals in need of emergency shelter are encouraged to call the shelter line at 1-833-724-2444. If you or someone you are caring for displays any signs of extreme cold-related illness, call 911 or visit your nearest emergency department. For advice on health risks, symptoms and precautions associated with extreme cold temperatures, call 811. ❄️ Cold weather safety tips: canada.ca/en/health-canada/s… ☁️ Regional #nlwx forecast information: weather.gc.ca/forecast/canad… 📰 Public advisory: gov.nl.ca/releases/2026/heal…
