Blankets over windows and doors to help keep heat in, towels under doors too

If you have a tent absolutely use it in a power outage situation, putting a few blankets over it will help keep it warmer, and sleeping bags are very warm too

Layers, heat is trapped between layers of clothes

Do not let yourself get/be wet

Staying in one smaller room and not opening the door a lot

Keep flashlights, bottled water, and food handy

Charge everything now; phone, laptop, battery packs, etc

If you have pets keep them with you and keep them warm too, make sure they have access to fresh food and water wherever you cozy up at

Keep your fridge/freezer shut

Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning

Be safe friend!

Thanks for all these tips - I hope they help other people too! So far, I still have power and water (and even internet!) but that could all change quite quickly. Keeping everything plugged in and charged, for sure, and water bottles topped off. I have plastic tarps and stuff that I can tape over the windows more easily than a blanket, if that works as well?
