Life-threatening is defined as a household which has no heating or cooling sources or has a disconnect notice for their primary heating or cooling service and the health or well-being of a household member would be in danger if the service was terminated. Each household will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if there is a cooling crisis.
