Caddo Parish reminds residents to protect pets, plants, pipes ahead of frigid temps

As temps in the low 20s are forecasted for the area over the next few days, remember to protect pets, plants, and pipes.
 
Here are some personal preparedness tips:
 
PETS/PLANTS: Relocate your pets and plants to warmer spaces out of the direct cold. Provide warm bedding and fresh water, making sure that water isn’t frozen.
 
PIPES: Cover and wrap outdoor faucets and spigots, and make sure pipes are insulated and sprinkler systems are weatherized and shut off. Drip indoor faucets.
