Riley County police noted that Wwind chill values as low as -10 to -30 degrees are possible from Thursday night through the weekend. Sunday morning looks to be the coldest and most dangerous time during this period.
Make sure to bundle up and wear winter gear if you have to go outside!
Check in on elderly individuals, those with special needs, who are living alone, or have an unstable housing situation.
Please bring outdoor pets in and out of the cold.
Ask for help if you need it. Your electricity or gas can't be shut off with temperatures this low. If you live in a rental dwelling and the furnace cannot maintain 65 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night, call Manhattan Fire Department Risk Reduction at (785) 587-4506 to request a Property Maintenance Inspection.Learn more about how to best prepare for Winter Weather
