As crews work to get power restored across our region, we want to share these safety guidelines for refrigerated foods and medicines. Be sure to share these guidelines with those you may know who are experiencing the aftermath of storms in our area! Eat your fresh, perishable foods first. Avoid opening your refrigerator and freezer to keep food cold. Use coolers with ice if necessary. Measure the food temperature in your refrigerator and freezer with a thermometer. Throw out perishable food that has been warmer than 40 degrees F. Ask your healthcare provider or doctor about refrigerated medicines.
