"Cold conditions will be hazardous to sensitive populations such as unhoused individuals. Prolonged exposure to the cold conditions will lead to hypothermia for people, pets, and livestock. Cold conditions may damage or kill sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation if appropriate precautions are not taken. Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous, according to the NWS. Ensure portable heaters are working properly and are used correctly to avoid sparking a fire indoors."
"When a dense fog advisory is issued for your area, it means that widespread dense fog has developed and visibility can plummet to a quarter-mile or less. These conditions pose challenges for travel, so exercise extra caution on the road or consider postponing your trip if possible. If you must venture out in foggy conditions, keep these safety tips from the NWS in mind: Moderate your speed: Slow down and allocate extra time for your trip to reach your destination safely."
An updated dense fog advisory is in effect until Tuesday, Dec. 30 at 10 a.m. for North Bay Interior Valleys. Visibility may drop to one quarter mile or less. Cold conditions pose hazards to sensitive populations, including unhoused individuals, and prolonged exposure can cause hypothermia in people, pets, and livestock. Sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation may be damaged or killed without precautions. Low visibility makes driving hazardous; drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights or fog lights, leave extra distance, and allow additional travel time. Ensure portable heaters operate safely, never use generators or grills indoors, and seek warming centers if needed.
