Hypothermia
& Older Adults
Almost
everyone knows about winter dangers such as broken bones
from falls on icy steps, sidewalks or streets. But cold
weather also can cause an important, less obvious danger
that can affect older people. Older adults are especially
vulnerable to hypothermia, which can be deadly if not treated
quickly. The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has some advice
to help older people avoid hypothermia.

Get
Outdoors Georgia!
Any Georgian who holds a valid library card can borrow a
Georgia State Park "ParkPass" and Historic Site Pass from
their local libraries. The passes are good for free parking
or admission at any of the 63 parks and historic sites statewide
for up to five days. Because of the expected popularity
of the ParkPass loaner program, families interested in borrowing
a ParkPass from their local public libraries are advised
to plan early, as supplies of the ParkPass are limited.
Contact your local library for more information. Visit www.getoutdoorsgeorgia.org
to plan your adventure!
