I E -SU-RUI-A Consumer's Guide to Winter Preparedness__

When winter approaches, many people may feel some apprehension about asevere 'winter: how,it could affect them, their home and their family. This guide willhelp you prepa're for winter and help you handle most erriergencies that even theworst' weather can bring:

COMPtemoeratures

I.

Tolerance of cool temperatures va es amongindividuals, just as comfort levels do. One reasongivep for raising the thermostat is to protect one'shealth. However, for most people, loweringhome and office thermostats.to the recommended65 degrees Fahrenheit during the day arid 55degrees at -.night will not by itself cause colds,influenza or pneumonia.

Tolerance 'of low temperatures and resistanceto winter's illnesses depend on the body'sgeneral state of health and the amount ofexposure to winter weather. A wet and windyenvironment intensifies the .effects of coldtemperatures and makes it harder for the body tomaintain its natural warmth_

Most infants can cope well with temperatures inthe 60 to 70 degree range provided they are keptwarmly clothed and the relative humidity is kepthigh. Pregnant women can safely _toleratetemperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. Someelderly .people may have special problems indealing with cool temperatures, and shouldconsult their physician before lowering theirthermostats drastically.

Your home should be justust as prepared for winter as you are. Sey_ere weather canresult in serious emergencies: storms can knock down power lines; shutting off notonly lights but also heating equipment which needs electricity to operate. Thereinayeven_ be periods when it is difficult or implossible to get out of the house..

,/ Winterizingthe home

Here are some things you can do to protect yourhome and stay comfortable: .

Insulate your house. Make it airtight to keepheat in and cold out. Caulk and weatherstripdoors and windows. Install storm windows orcover windows with plastic. Insulate walls andattics. For detailed information on how toinsulate your home, contact/ your utilitycompany or the Public Servic'e .Commission inyour state..Have some type of emergency heating equip-ment available so you can keep at least:oneroom warm enough to be livable if your furnaceis not operating. The heat source you choosewill depend on where you .live or whether youown a home or rent. A fireplace with an amplesupply of, wood is, of course, excellent. A small, /.well-vented wood or coal stove is an efficient,low-cost heat source which may be used inhouses and some apartments. A camp .stoire, canbe used in both.Be careful. Know how to use this emergencyheating equipment safely to prevent fire or dan-

-gerous fumes: Proper ventilation is essential. Fordetailed information on safe handling of alterna-tive heat sources and equipment, talk to a localdealer. Check your local telephone directoryyellow pages under "Heating."

2

Keep pipes from freezing_ Wrap the pipes ininsulation made especially for water pipe's, or inlayers of old newspaper, lapping the ends andtying them around the pipes. Cover the news-papers with plastic to keep but moisture. Whenit is extremely-cold-anct-ther-is reaf dange-r- of

_7freezing, let-the faucets drip a little. Although thiswastes water, it may prevent freezing damage.Know where the valve for shutting off the water -

coming into'the house or apartment is located.You may as a last resort have to shut off thismain valve and drain- all the pipes to keep themfrom freezing and bursting.If the pipes freeze despite efforts to preventit;open faticets wide to allow for expansion of thefrozen water. Remove any newspaper that maybe around the pipe. Wrap pipes with rags andpour hot water over the rags, with the faucetsstill open.

.Although you may be tempted to throw up your hands in despairif you find your

furnacels not operating, don't; the problem may be something simple you can remedyyour-self. First, if your furnace 'burns oil, make sure the fuel tank is not empty.Secondly; check the electric switch that may control the blower or some other._function of the heating unit. The switch may for some reason have been turned off. ,

-Also check- the fuse -or circuit breaker that control's the furnace to see if it'sfunctioning.

If your unit is gas-fired, check other gasWithout nead appliances to make sure your main gas supply has.

not been cut off. If that doesn't salve the problem,

Dongtijanic next check the pilot light. Instructions for relightingtrie pilot light appear on the front of most units.

If these steps do not testore the furnace toopelation call the utility co'mpany which providesservice in your area. If the unit -is fueled by oil, callyour fuel,oil dealer or a company that specializes inheating and cooling work. They ars listed in theyellow pages under "Heating."

If you are a renter, contact your city housingadthority or local community action agency to findout .how to get,th-e landlord to provide heatingservice. If possible, familiarize yourself with thebasic functioning of your heating equipment. Fueldealers and utility companies are usually willing toshow customers-,these basics, since it may savethem the time and expenses of making emergenqycall; later on. -

While you wait for help, do the following to main-; tain a minimal heat level:

411, Use your alternate heat sodrce_Close off those rooms which are not absolutelyneeded.Hang blankets over windows at night (let thesun shine in during the day) Stuff cracks arounddoors with rugs, newspapers, towels, or otherSuch materials_Prevent water pipes from bursting, using thetechniques already described_ Collect water fordrinking and store in covered containers_ Closethewater inlet valve on the toilet and then flushto prevent freezing damage_Don't hesitate to ask for help if the situationstarts to get out of 'control_ Call a neighbor or alocal social or emersency service agency_ Write.those phone numbdrs down in advance andkeep them handy.

Keening warmin a

cow house,

When your house is without heat because of mal-functioning equipment, lack of fuel or any otherreason, there are ways to preserv/ some of. thehome's heat and stay relatively comfortable:,

Dress warmly. Wool Clothing, woriv-in directcontact with the skin, is the- warmest. Do notput a layer of cotton.uniirneath. If wool clothing tis not available, heavily layered cotton or synthe-tics will do. Layers of protective clothing aremore effectieve protection against cold than asingle -layer of thick clothing entrapped,insulating air is warmed by body heat. The layerscan be removed as needed to prevent perspiringand subsequent chill.Eat well-balanced, nutritional meals to allow thebody to pi-oduce its own heat efficiently, espe-cially quick-energy foods (raisins,k other driedfruit, other such foods).

When a winter storm strikes or extra-cold weather lingers for long periods, certain items and information are indispensible in an emergency or even under normalcircumstances. A home energy emergency kit should include:
