Dress appropriately
To protect your body from heat and cold, layer your clothing, including a hat, gloves, and warm socks, to trap heat and insulate your body.
Stay indoors
During extreme cold weather, it's advisable to avoid outdoor activities, limit outdoor time, and ensure to pack appropriately.
Insulate your home
To maintain heat retention, ensure your home is properly insulated with weatherstripping and draft stoppers to seal gaps around windows and doors.
Heat your home safely
Follow safety guidelines when using space heaters or fireplaces to prevent fires or carbon monoxide poisoning. Keep flammable items away from heat sources and use fire screens for added protection.
