Be Prepared to Stay Safe and Healthy in Winter The polar vortex may be starting to leave our area, but that doesn't mean we're out of the cold just yet. Winter weather predictions for this season in Maryland show frigid temperatures and extreme weather conditions continuing through March. It is important to take precaution in these circumstances to make sure you and your family, friends, pets and home are all safe. 

Check out the CDC's Extreme Cold Prevention Guide and Winter Weather article attached to this post.  

If you see a homeless person out in the cold, practice your Green Dot skills and report them to a local hotline so they can be taken to a shelter. In the Baltimore area, you can call 311, and in Washington DC area, you can call the hypothermia hotline at 1-800-535-7525. 

Feeling sick or under the weather? Get checked out at UHS! We are open throughout the winter term with normal hours, Mon-Fri, 8:30am-5pm.
