How to keep warm and cook without poisoning yourself.
Dress in layers and stay together in one room.
Seal windows and doors, cover the floor and hang blankets.
Use a stove or open flame only with ventilation, away from anything flammable.
Never use a grill or generator indoors: carbon monoxide poisoning risk.
When heating or cooking without power, keep a carbon monoxide detector on.
If you heat with electricity, ventilate less during a winter outage.
Before sleeping, put out candles and switch off heaters.
