Know

Food and water do not protect you from extreme indoor heat or cold. Fans can help in some conditions, but they do not replace effective cooling during extreme heat. Fuel-burning heaters require the exact model's instructions and a suitable location.

Never use a gas oven or cooking stove to heat your home. Identify an accessible place with reliable heating or cooling if needed.
