KEEPING WARM IN A COLD HOUSE
When your house is without heat because of malfunctioning equipment, lack of fuel, or any other reason, there are ways to preserve some of the home's heat and stay relatively comfortable:
Dress Warmly. Layers of protective clothing are more effective protection against cold than a single layer of thick clothing - entrapped, insulating air is warmed by body heat. The layers can be removed as needed to prevent perspiring and subsequent chill.
Eat well-balanced, nutritional meals to allow the body to produce its own heat efficiently, especially quick-energy foods (raisins, other dried fruit, other such foods).
Wear A Hat, especially when sleeping under these emergency conditions. The body loses between half and three-quarters of its heat through the head.
Use Several Light-Weight Blankets rather than one very heavy blanket for the most warmth while sleeping.
Never use a charcoal or gas grill indoors—the fumes are deadly.
