??‹Fall back November 1
Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, November 1. Set your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Halloween. The time change is a great time for some basic housekeeping to ensure a safe fall and winter:

• Put fresh batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms.
• Replace smoke alarms older than 10 years and CO alarms older than five years.
• Create and/or update your family disaster supply kit for water, food, flashlights, batteries, blankets, etc.). Learn what items should be your kit.
• Check and properly discard any expired prescription and over-the-counter medications.
• If you have a wood-burning fireplace, have your chimney cleaned and inspected to prevent a chimney fire.
