Cold Weather Health Information

Here are 5 ways to stay warm in your home during cold weather:

1. Layer clothing and blankets.

2. Ensure doors and windows seal well. Fix if needed and possible.

3. Set the thermostat to 60 degrees Fahrenheit or above when at home.

4. Eat and drink warm foods and drinks. (Do not use your oven, stove, grill, or generator inside as a source of heat. This is dangerous.)

5. If you need assistance to pay your utility bill, visit the Tri-County (Portland Metro) Utility Assistance page on 211 Info’s website.
