In general the backup plan in Iceland is "Well, I guess we're having to wear all this clothing we put on so we don't die of exposure when we venture outside inside the house now.". I think the hospitals have backup diesel electric generators, but in general nobody's got backup heating, except perhaps the odd free-standing electric heater. I don't know, but I'd expect someone at the hospital there is thinking of running those in select places. Icelandic media is now patiently explaining to people the upsides ("yay, heat!") and downsides (you might die) of running the propane gas heaters that have just sold out in enclosed spaces: https://www.ruv.is/frettir/innlent/2024-02-08-ad-ymsu-ad-huga-thegar-gas-er-notad-til-hushitunar-404467 https://www.ruv.is/frettir/innlent/2024-02-08-ad-ymsu-ad-hug...
