1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,280 It's cold in here. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,800 Are these even on? No. 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,120 It's freezing in here. 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,840 Seven Days: Practise your preparedness. 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,240 Heat. 6 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,080 Hi! My name is Simon. In this video, I’m your preparedness buddy. 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,680 We will review what you should think about before you end up in a situation like this 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,000 and what you should do and keep in mind while it is happening. 9 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,960 In a crisis or war, heating may stop and remain unavailable for a long time. 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,320 So what do you do when it gets cold in your flat or house? 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,440 It takes a few hours, or up to a day, before it's as cold inside as outside. 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:43,040 So you have some time, but it's good to practise beforehand so you are prepared. 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,920 If the heating stops, first choose one room where you will stay. 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,720 A room without windows is best. If there are windows, cover them with blankets or duvets. 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,600 This helps keep the heat in and the cold out. 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,920 Also make sure you have warm clothes: wool, gloves and a hat. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,200 If it's cold outside, dress as if it will be cold indoors too. 18 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,440 It's also good to have a sleeping mat and a sleeping bag at home. 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,680 Nights get cold, and a sleeping bag retains heat better than a duvet. 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,760 A sleeping mat also protects you from the cold coming up from the floor. 21 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,120 Candles and tea lights are very useful to have at home. 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,480 They not only provide light without electricity 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,920 and also give off a little heat. As you'd expect given their name. 24 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,200 Another good tip, perhaps the best, is to stay together with several people. 25 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,440 Several people in one room can warm it more than you might think. 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaking of that, I wonder how my neighbours are doing. 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,160 If it's this cold in my flat, I'm sure theirs is cold too. Let's see. 28 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,800 -Hi! -Hi, Ally. 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,480 -Is your power out too? -Yes. 30 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,600 -Is it cold at home? -Freezing. 31 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,840 -How are you doing? -It's fine, but it's cold. 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,280 -Come in. -Come in. 33 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520 -Is it chilly in here? -It's getting really cold now. 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,080 -Yeah, brr. -Yeah. 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,640 It reminds me of arriving at the cabin when it's been left unheated. 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,840 That's what it feels like now, when you just cosy up together. 37 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:21,320 I do quite a lot of fishing in the mountains, and mountain weather can get very cold. 38 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,120 Then my friends and I usually crawl into the tent. 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,360 It gives you a bit more shelter, so maybe we can build a tent in here. 40 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,960 Let's build a little hut. It might be warmer in there than it is here in the kitchen. 41 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,320 -Good idea. -Let's take the candles to the living room. 42 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,120 Meanwhile, we can close the curtains. 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,440 That helps keep the cold out and retain the heat a little better. 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,520 -That's a good idea. -Yes. 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,800 We'll put these over the top to make walls for the tent, and a little door at the front. 46 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,200 This is cosy. Maybe a little dark. We could do with a lamp. 47 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,120 I can't make calls with this, but it works as a lamp. 48 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,200 You can use it as a reading lamp. Very cosy. 49 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,920 Great. And here are the books. 50 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,320 -Shall we close it? -Yes. 51 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,760 -Give me a shout when you want to come out. -Yes. 52 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,280 I've made hot chocolate on the camping stove. 53 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,720 -You want extra, right? -Yes. 54 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,080 Yeah. Same here, you know. 55 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,000 To sum up: in a crisis or war, heating may be unavailable for a long time. 56 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,360 It's good to prepare in advance as we have now with blankets and warm clothes. 57 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Choose one room where you mainly stay, preferably one without windows. 58 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,080 Cover any windows with blankets or duvets to keep the cold out and the heat in. 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,600 Nights get colder, so it's good to have a sleeping bag and sleeping mat. 60 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,880 A sleeping bag retains heat better than a duvet when you're sleeping. 61 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,320 Make sure you have candles and tea lights at home. 62 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,160 They provide an alternative to electric lighting and also give off some heat. 63 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,960 But remember fire safety. Never leave a burning candle unattended. 64 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,000 And always keep a fire extinguisher close at hand in case of a fire. 65 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,840 Swedish Civil Defence and Resilience Agency.
