- Close off unneeded rooms or areas. <br />- Stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors. <br />- Cover windows at night. <br />Eat and drink. Food provides the body with energy and heat. Fluids prevent <br />dehydration. <br />Wear layers of loose- fitting, light- weight, warm clothing, if available. <br />If outdoors: <br />Find a dry shelter. Cover all exposed parts of the body. <br />If shelter is not available: <br />- Prepare a lean -to, wind break, or snow cave for protection from the wind. <br />- Build a fire for heat and to attract attention. Place rocks around the fire to <br />absorb and reflect heat. <br />- Do not eat snow. It will lower your body temperature. Melt it first. <br />If stranded in a car or truck: <br />Stay in the vehicle! <br />Run the motor about ten minutes each hour. Open the windows a little <br />for fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure the exhaust <br />pipe is not blocked. <br />Make yourself visible to rescuers. <br />- Turn on the dome light at night when running the engine. <br />- Tie a colored cloth to your antenna or door. <br />- Raise the hood after the snow stops falling. <br />Exercise to keep blood circulating and to keep warm. <br />Daub & Associates, Inc.
