We sometimes get a few days of -30C in Moscow, and Moscow climate is mild by Russian standards. But then we have central heating.
As a rule (if you are not fammiliar with cold weather conditions) I would advise covering exposed facial features, ie nose and ears, at temperatures below -20, wearing a hat, gloves, 4 layers of regular clothing (ie T-shirt->shirt->sweatshirt->regular jacket/coat), including multiple layers for your legs (ie not just underwear and parts/trousers/jeans).
For buildings you need to ensure that there is no free airflow through unauthorised openings (ie cracks in the window frames), if there are - tape them. If you have any piping in the area that may freese - make sure there is no water in the piping or it may crack.
