When Does a Cold Home Become a Safety Issue?
We know that we can withstand freezing temperatures for short amounts of time outdoors when bundled up well, but what about for prolonged periods indoors? Ideally, rooms should be at or above 63 degrees Fahrenheit – this is the temperature that allows us to keep our body temperatures regulated through clothing and blankets. However, most healthy adults can live in lower temperatures for short periods if necessary due to power outages or furnace issues.
In most cases, bundling up by wearing more layers than usual indoors is enough to keep you safe. In extreme situations, reduce the risk of overnight cold by identifying one room in your home for sleeping that is your “warm room” – ideally, a small room with few or no windows, good insulation, and carpeted floors. Improve insulation by covering windows and keeping the door closed. Wear layers and use heated/mylar blankets and sleeping bags rated for cold weather. Hot water bottles, hand warmers, and space heaters can help, too. While a hot shower might seem like a good idea to warm up, the water evaporating off of you as you dry can significantly lower your body temperature, so it’s best to stay dry.
