How to Spot a Phishing Email Before You Click
Fake “your order is delayed” and “your account is locked” emails are everywhere. Six signs that a message isn’t what it claims.
Getting Your Cincinnati Home Ready for Winter
Cincinnati winters bring cold snaps, ice and the occasional snowstorm. A weekend of small jobs in the fall makes the season easier.
Test smoke and CO alarms
Furnaces and space heaters run more in winter. Make sure you have working smoke alarms on every level and carbon monoxide alarms outside sleeping areas.
Use space heaters safely
Keep heaters three feet from anything that can burn, plug them straight into a wall outlet and turn them off when you leave the room.
Seal the drafts
Check weatherstripping on doors and windows. A drafty room is often the one that needs a small heater.
Prepare for outages
- Charge flashlights and power banks.
- Keep extra blankets where you can find them.
- Know where your water shutoff valve is.
Sleep warm
Warm bedding and a supportive pillow make a cold night more comfortable without turning up the whole house.
