- Limit your time outside. If you need to go outside, wear layers of warm clothing. Watch for signs of hypothermia.
- Hypothermia is an unusually low body temperature. A temperature below 95 degrees is an emergency.
- Go to a warm room
- Warm the center of the body first--chest, neck, head and groin
- Keep dry and wrapped up in warm blankets, including the head and neck.
