There are basically 3 precautions. :-
1 People who know no better will hang a box containing fibre insulation around their outside faucets. This is next to useless.
2 Smarter people install a shutoff valve inside the wall so they can stop flow until they need it. This is better, but a pain if it's installed in the crawlspace.
3 Smart people get a 'frost free faucet' which is a faucet on the end of a 12 " tube and the handle outside operates a valve 12" inside the wall.
