"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, according to the NWS. Ensure portable heaters are working properly and are used correctly to avoid sparking a fire indoors. Do not use generators or grills inside as carbon monoxide poisoning can result."
"Be sure to dress in layers if outdoors. Make sure that pets and livestock have adequate food, unfrozen water, and warmth. Cover or tend to sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation. The full list of affected locations includes: North Bay Interior Mountains North Bay Interior Valleys East Bay Interior Valleys Eastern Santa Clara Hills East Bay Hills Southern Salinas Valley/Arroyo Seco and Lake San Antonio Santa Lucia Mountains and Los Padres National Forest"
An updated cold weather advisory covers Bay Area inland regions from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Dec. 30, with temperatures as low as 33°F. Cold conditions pose hazards to sensitive populations, including unhoused individuals, and prolonged exposure can cause hypothermia for people, pets, and livestock. Sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation may be damaged or killed without precautions. Residents are advised to ensure portable heaters work and are used safely, avoid indoor use of generators or grills, check local officials for warming centers, dress in layers outdoors, protect animals, and cover vulnerable vegetation. A cold advisory differs from an extreme cold warning.
