 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. Winter is coming, and the Navy wants to make sure you, your family, and your shipmates stay warm and safe. Prepare for the cold weather to avoid frostbite and hypothermia by wearing layered clothing, eating properly, and drinking warm liquids to stay hydrated. Frostbite symptoms can include white, waxy, or pale-colored skin and cold, hard, or numb skin. If you or someone near you is affected by frostbite, move them to a warm place and seek medical attention immediately. Hypothermia symptoms include uncontrollable shivering, a change in mental status, darkened puffy skin, and unconsciousness. Victims of hypothermia should seek immediate medical attention while staying warm. For more information on how you can stay safe during the winter months, visit the Naval Safety Center website.
