Cold weather safety tips: • Insulate walls and attics. • Protect exposed pipes by wrapping them in insulation or layers of newspaper. • Turn off your outdoor sprinkler system. • Do not use gas appliances such as ranges or ovens to heat your home. • Dress warmly to avoid frostbite. Clothing made of wool or synthetic fibers offer more insulation than cotton. • If it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for household pets to be kept outdoors for long periods of time.

Museum to catalog every item from Las Vegas shooting memorial

August 27, 2020 - 5:27 pm

A museum plans to catalog every item from the Las Vegas shooting memorial. Viewers have until Dec. 17 to see crosses and mementos before they become part of the Clark County Museum’s permanent collection. Cataloging the thousands of items could take more than a year. Each item gets a detailed description and is photographed from several angles. Items will be packaged and preserved in materials designed for long-term storage. Photos and descriptions will eventually be posted online for the public. Anyone interested in volunteering should email Cyndi Sanford at cynthia.sanford@ClarkCountyNV.gov
