Thanksgiving Safety Tips from New Mexico Water

Preparation is Key: A Safe Thanksgiving Starts Before You Even Cook

As the holiday season approaches, it's essential to prioritize safety in your home. At New Mexico Water, we want to ensure that you and your loved ones have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. That's why we've put together some crucial tips to help you prepare for the big day.

First and foremost, make sure to check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms before guests arrive. It's also a good idea to test them to ensure they're functioning properly.

Kitchen Safety: Avoiding Common Hazards

The kitchen is often the heart of any holiday gathering, but it can also be a breeding ground for accidents. Make sure to keep an eye on children and pets while they're in the kitchen, as hot surfaces and sharp objects can cause serious injury.

Additionally, never leave cooking unattended, especially when using oil or grease. These substances can quickly turn into a fire hazard if not monitored closely.

Staying Hydrated: A Crucial Aspect of Thanksgiving Safety

As you're busy preparing for the big feast, it's easy to forget about staying hydrated. However, dehydration can quickly set in when you're not drinking enough water.

Make sure to have plenty of water and other hydrating beverages on hand throughout the day. This is especially important if you have guests with specific dietary restrictions or health concerns.
