Keep Your Freezer and Refrigerator Closed
Use Ice Packs and Coolers
Group Foods Together
Grouping foods in the freezer helps them stay colder longer.
Use a Food Thermometer
A food thermometer is a valuable tool to ensure your food remains at a safe temperature during a power outage.
Cook or Preserve Perishable Foods
If you know a power outage is imminent, consider cooking or preserving perishable foods. Cooking foods can extend their shelf life and make them safe for consumption without refrigeration for a short period.
