With winter storms forecast to cause power outages, experts recommend several tips to help residents stay warm during extended outages.
Closing blinds and curtains can help retain heat inside homes. Additionally, residents are advised to close off rooms to prevent heat loss and conserve energy.
Wearing layers of loose-fitting, lightweight clothing can also help maintain body warmth. Eating and drinking are recommended, as food provides energy that helps keep the body warm. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided, as they can lead to dehydration and heat loss.
To further insulate homes, placing towels in cracks under doors can reduce drafts and retain heat. These measures can help residents stay safe and warm during winter storms that disrupt power supply.
