    Several states have laws against cutting off people’s utilities during the winter in order to prevent this kind of incident. I think there are other need based programs to provide lower cost (below market) utilities, and that just disallowing people’s utilities from being cut off doesn’t remove the debt or prevent them from being shut off after winter ends, but it’s the kind of program we need to establish more year round, especially with the weather moving to further extremes year after year.
