🚨 Staying warm when the power is out ❄️

Winter weather in Iowa can knock out power fast — and temperatures can drop just as quickly inside your home. If you lose heat, here are a few simple ways to hold onto warmth and stay safe:

✅ Shut the cold out.
Close blinds or curtains to keep heat from escaping through windows.

✅ Shrink your space.
Close off unused rooms so you’re not wasting warmth on areas you don’t need.

✅ Layer up.
Wear loose-fitting, lightweight layers. Trapped air between layers helps keep you warmer than one heavy coat.

✅ Fuel your body.
Eat and drink regularly — food helps your body generate heat. Skip caffeine and alcohol, since they can mess with how your body handles cold.

✅ Block drafts.
Stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors to stop cold air from sneaking in.

🧡 Bonus reminder: If you have family, friends, or neighbors who may need help, check on them when it’s safe to do so.

Stay warm out there, Iowa — and keep it tuned to WeatherIowa for the latest updates.
