1.
In case of a black
out, call your
electric
company
and ask how long it will last.
2.
In case of a 24 hour or less black
out, do not open
the refrigerator;
this will keep the food fresh.
3.
In case of a longer
black out, do one of the following
options:
•
Pull out all of the frozen
food
and keep them
in an
ice chest.
•
Put 2 Ibs (907 g) of frozen
ice (make
sure you use
gloves)
for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer.
This task will preserve
the food
fro 2 to 4 days.
•
In case you do not possess
neither
ice chest or dry
ice, consume
your food
as soon as possible.
REMEMBER:
In a power failure,
a full freezer
stays cold
longer
than
a partially
filled
one. A freezer
full of meat
stays cold longer
than
a freezer full of baked
goods.
If
you see that food
contains
ice crystals,
it may be safely
refrozen,
although
the quality
and flavor may be affected.
If the condition
of the food
is poor or if you feel it unsafe,
dispose
of it.
