(39,961 posts)Arrest anyone from outside providing material assistance, block their cell phone and internet access (and do not believe anyone that tells you that they cannot do that without affecting locals in the area - give me 20 minutes and I could re-route their specific traffic into a black hole), limit the power to just enough to keep the pipes warm enough not to freeze but highly uncomfortable for 24/7 living for human beings (40F sounds about right).
Now you have them living in a refrigerator, isolated from outside contact, and getting no supplies or reinforcements. Treat it like what it is - a siege.
They will have to hole up until winter is over if they don't give up, and by then, they will be praying for a hot meal and blankets even if their destination (which it should be) is the penitentiary.
