With the expected bout of extreme cold weather this week, the City of Cumberland Police and Fire Departments urge all residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Please continue to check on friends, family, and neighbors, especially those who may need extra assistance during this time.

Be mindful of ice hazards, even if sidewalks and streets appear clear, as ice will still be prevalent and difficult to remove in these conditions. It is advisable to avoid going out or driving unless absolutely necessary. If you must venture out, prepare for potential vehicle breakdowns and dress appropriately for being outdoors and walking. If you remain in a running vehicle, ensure it is properly ventilated with fresh air to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Avoid spending extended periods outdoors, as extreme cold can quickly lead to hypothermia and frostbite. Staying indoors and limiting exposure is the best way to protect yourself from these risks. For those without shelter, the Union Rescue Mission in Cumberland is available as a cold weather shelter whenever temperatures drop below 20°F. In addition, the Rescue Mission continues to offer temporary housing and a variety of long-term services for individuals in need.

During extreme cold, fire hazards often increase due to the creative use of portable heating devices. Please use heaters only as directed by the manufacturer and ensure the surrounding areas are free of flammable materials. Proper ventilation is also essential to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Cumberland Water Department recommends leaving a small trickle of water running in a sink to prevent water lines from freezing. While not required, this simple measure may help avoid costly repairs from broken pipes and the need to thaw frozen water lines. Property owners and residents are also encouraged to check for air leaks around service lines and meters, insulating or sealing any openings to reduce the risk of freezing pipes.

As always, the city’s Police Officers, Firefighters, and Public Works employees will be on duty and ready to assist you. Do not hesitate to call for help if you need it. Please remember that extreme cold weather and icy road conditions are dangerous for everyone, including first responders. By taking precautions and looking out for each other, we can work together to stay safe during this period of extreme cold weather.
