The post-Sandy nor’easter had some doctors worried that many of those affected by Sandy could face a life-threatening situation in the form of hypothermia. "Those without heat need to find a place with it as the temperatures fall these next few nights, dressing in layers and wearing a hat and avoiding alcohol are key factors to prevent it as well," said Robert McNamara, chair of emergency medicine at Temple University School of Medicine.
