"The NWS San Francisco CA said, Very cold conditions with temperatures in the low to mid 30s possible except for Interior Monterey and San Benito counties where temperatures in the upper 20s are possible. Cold conditions will be hazardous to sensitive populations such as unhoused individuals. Cold conditions may damage or kill sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation if appropriate precautions are not taken. Prolonged exposure to the cold conditions will lead to hypothermia for people, pets, and livestock, according to the NWS."
"Ensure portable heaters are working properly and are used correctly to avoid sparking a fire indoors. Do not use generators or grills inside as carbon monoxide poisoning can result. Check with your local, city, or county officials for information on available warming centers. Be sure to dress in layers if outdoors. Make sure that pets and livestock have adequate food, unfrozen water, and warmth."
