What should I do to keep warm?
With winter fast approaching, residents are recommended to take the necessary steps to stay safe as the weather turns cold.
This includes making sure your homes “can be safely heated” and you always have crucial items on hand in case of an emergency, including non-perishable and pet foods, water and medicine.
Delawareans are also encouraged to have a driving kit in their car this winter.
Items should include blankets or sleeping bags, extra warm clothing, first-aid supplies, drinking water and shelf-stable food items like protein or energy bars and trail mix.

LEWES, Del. (WPVI) — The Delaware Bay has a new defense in the case of a potential oil spill.
The Delaware Responder was officially christened on Tuesday in Lewes.
The 65-foot oil spill response boat carries 2,000 feet of boom, which helps contain an oil spill.
The Delaware Bay and River Cooperative, a non-profit group made up of companies that receive, produce or transport oil on the Delaware River and Bay, said the boat also has onboard oil storage for recovery operations.

The mother of Nola Dinkins was found guilty of murdering her 3-year-old daughter, who was falsely reported to be kidnapped in Delaware in June 2025, according to court records.
Darrian Randle was found guilty by a Maryland jury of first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse for the death of Dinkins, who was falsely reported to be missing after an abduction in Newark, Delaware, prosecutors said.
The amber alert set off a dayslong search for the girl, but Randle eventually admitted to beating Dinkins to death in Maryland and then tried to fake a kidnapping, officials said at the time.
Human remains that were consistent with an emaciated child and completely wrapped in saran wrap were ultimately found n a suitcase in the area of Dune Drive in North East, Cecil County, Maryland, officials said.
Randle’s boyfriend, Cedrick Britten, is also facing charges in the case and has yet to go to trial.
Randle remains in custody and will be sentenced on Oct. 2, 2026, according to court records.
Darrian Randle allegedly admitted to beating her 3-year-old daughter Nola Dinkins to death before putting the girl’s body in a suitcase. NBC10’s Tim Furlong speaks with neighbors of the woman’s boyfriend, who police say helped her hide the body.
