Texans should expect cold temperatures with many areas remaining below freezing until Friday afternoon.

Texas Division of Emergency Management Tips:

✅ Please make sure your household is prepared focusing on the 4 P’s. People, pets, pipes and plants!

✅ Plan to minimize travel, and if you need to be on the road, slow down.

✅ Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Only use generators and grills outdoors and away from windows. Never heat your home with a gas stovetop or oven.

✅ Be prepared for winter weather at home, at work and in your car. Create an emergency supply kit for your car. Include jumper cables, sand, a flashlight, warm clothes, blankets, bottled water and non-perishable snacks. Keep a full tank of gas.

Protect Yourself from Social Security Scams

Scammers are pretending to be government employees. Scammers will try to scare and trick you into giving them your personal information and money. They may threaten you or your family and may demand immediate payment to avoid arrest or other legal action.
DON'T BE FOOLED!
IF YOU RECEIVE A SUSPICIOUS CALL:
1. Hang up!

2. DO NOT give them money or personal
information!

3. Report the scam at OIG.SSA.GOV!

Social Security may call you in
some situations but will never
• Threaten you
• Suspend your Social Security Number
• Demand immediate payment from you
• Require payment by cash, gift card, pre-paid debit card, or wire transfer
• Ask for gift card numbers over the phone or to wire or mail cash

What to look out for
The call or email says there is a problem with your Social Security Number or account.

Someone asking you to pay a fine or debt with retail gift cards, wire transfers, pre-paid debit cards, internet currency, or by mailing cash.

Scammers pretend they’re from Social Security or another government agency. Caller ID or documents sent by email may look official but they are not.

Callers threaten you with arrest or other legal action.

Protect yourself, friends, and family!
