Cover outside faucets with foam covers and insulate exposed pipes with foam pipe insulation
Know where your main water cut-off valves are and have a cut-off key handy

you can use space heaters, hair dryers, heat lamps or thermostatically controlled heat tape to begin thawing
keep faucets open to allow water to begin flowing and help prevent a rupture
