LINCOLN, NEBRASKA (RFD NEWS) — As winter conditions continue across much of the country, safety remains a top concern for rural communities. From everyday cold-weather precautions to preparing for major winter storms, reminders this time of year can help keep families and neighbors safe.

Dr. Gold also highlighted the importance of planning ahead and staying informed during severe weather events. Finally, he shared his final thoughts on staying safe and mindful throughout the winter season.
