In cold climates, with temperatures below freezing, people are at risk of death within one day without adequate protection from the elements. In addition, rain and wind increase heat transfer away from the body. Therefore survival is often dependent upon prioritising the distribution of Non-Food Items (NFIs) to provide thermal comfort.

Providing life-saving goods and services during winter or when winter is approaching requires specialised responses. Supporting the population affected by (extreme) cold weather conditions to cope and top up their existing coping strategies to help them withstand the winter. Many humanitarian responses include winterisation kits for general household support items, clothing kits and shelter. Kits to protect the population from cold and for personal insulation (clothing, blankets, matrasses). Other winterisation priorities and kits include heating, cooking, (ground) insulation and water-/wind-proofing of housing and shelter, and access to winter-proof water and sanitation solutions/services.
