How to Keep Your House Warm During a Power Outage

Choose a room with minimal windows and interior walls (e.g., bathroom, closet, or central bedroom).
Bring bedding, water, and supplies.
Body heat multiplies when people huddle together.

4. Create a “Bed Cocoon”
Sleep in layers: thermal pajamas + socks + hat.
Place hot water bottles (or sealed soda bottles filled with hot tap water) at your core (armpits, groin).
Cover yourself with multiple blankets—add a plastic sheet or emergency blanket on top to trap heat (not next to skin).
5. Insulate Windows & Doors
Hang heavy curtains, quilts, or cardboard over windows.
Tape plastic sheeting over drafty panes.
Stuff rolled towels along door bottoms.
6. Use Your Oven? NO.
Never use a gas oven, stove, or charcoal grill indoors—carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless and deadly.
Only use outdoor-safe heaters inside if they’re specifically rated for indoor use (e.g., Mr. Heater Buddy with oxygen sensor).
