Tips for Staying Warm in a Cold Home

  • Layer clothing and blankets

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

  • Set the thermostat to 60 degrees farenheit or above when at home.

  • 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.)
