You can't really do anything. They can survive just like any other animal. With human help they may get used to us and start relying on us for things such as food. This could cause them to forget how the technique used for hunting and we would have to take care of them forever. Trying to help them could really be bad for them in the long run.

Meerkats live in southern africa where winters are still 70 degrees fahrenheit. It is the dry season for them but they do not hibernate or anything. In captivity, for instance at a zoo, the Meerkats are kept in their indoor habitat till it gets hot out again.
