Place rolled up towel at the base of a front door or drafty door to keep heat in or cold out. Remember to open them when the power returns. If you have forced air heat, close the vents once the power goes out (don't let the cold into your warm room, or your heat out). This keeps unused exterior rooms from cooling your main living/survival area. You can even use the open area of your home as a portal, and keep a room closed for sleeping and living till the power comes back on. If you need to go outside, go through a porch or garage or other area that can act as an airlock to prevent colder air and wind from entering the home. We don’t think about it much when heating is working but a blast of cold can easily drop the temp 5 to 10 degrees with no easy way to get that heat back. Avoid opening and closing exterior doors.
