Our local Lakewood and Ken Caryl team respond to storm damage emergencies every year in Ken Caryl. Power outages can happen at any time, so it is a good idea to plan ahead and be prepared for this type of disruption. Here are some tips from the United States Department of Agriculture for keeping food safe before a power outage:

Plan Ahead

• Keep an appliance thermometer in both the refrigerator and freezer. Make sure the refrigerator temperature is at 40 °F or below and the freezer is at 0°F or below.
• Group foods together in both the refrigerator and freezer. This helps foods stay cold longer.
• Keep the freezer full. Fill empty spaces with frozen plastic jugs of water, bags of ice, or gel packs.
• Freeze refrigerated items that you may not need immediately, such as leftovers, milk, and fresh meat and poultry. This will keep them at a safe temperature longer.
• Have a large, insulated cooler and frozen gel packs available. Perishable foods will stay safe in a refrigerator for only 4 hours.
• Find out where dry ice and block ice can be purchased
