During extreme cold, remember the following safety guidelines: 

• Never use your oven for heat
• Never bring charcoal or gas grills indoors (they are a carbon monoxide hazard)
• Make sure all portable heaters are unplugged when not in use
• Use electric space heaters with extreme caution – avoid placing them near curtains or other flammable materials and turn them off before going to bed
• Keep heat at adequate levels or leave faucets open with a slight drip to prevent pipes from freezing
• Keep moving. Your body generates its own heat when you engage in physical activities.
