Do not burn anything inside your home without adequate ventilation to the outdoors.
Have enough fuel available for alternate heat sources, such as wood for a wood stove.
Never use gas ovens, gas ranges, barbecues, and most portable or propane heaters for indoor heating. These units use oxygen and create carbon monoxide that can cause suffocation.
Before using an alternate heat source, read the manufacturer’s instructions.
Have firefighting materials: dry powder, fire extinguisher, heavy tarp or blanket, and water available.
