In addition to your basic emergency kit, when preparing for an Extreme Heat you should consider the following:
- Keeps storm windows up all year
- Make sure your window air conditioners snugly; insulate if necessary.
- Check air-conditioning ducts for proper insulation.
- Install temporary window reflectors (for use between windows and drapes), such as aluminum foil-covered cardboard, to reflect heat back outside.
- Weather-strip doors and sills to keep cool air in.
