Choose a small, well-insulated room with least  Tesla Lighter Survival Tool Review number of windows as your emergency living quarters. If there is a room in your home with a wood stove or a fireplace that is properly vented, that would be the one to pick. If your home does not have a wood stove or fireplace, you can still make your warm room comfortable.

Block your warm room off from the rest of the house and put blankets over the windows at night to minimize heat loss.
Then seal off all drafts from entering. If your windows are drafty, apply a window insulation kit. This is the clear plastic sheets that you adhere to the window frame with double-sided tape.

Insulation is the key to keeping warmth in and keeping out cold. Besides the windows, you also should seal your entrance doors and the doors to the unused rooms in the house. A rolled up towel will help stop drafts from under the doors.

The whole family, including the family pets, should group together in the warm room to benefit from the combined body heat.
If there is sunshine during the day, open the window coverings to let the sun in.

Put on several thin layers of clothing and don't forget to wear a hat. As much as 80% of a person's body heat can be lost without one. Thermal underwear is also very effective.
