Food Safety After a Hurricane

We were 4 days in this situation this week due to Hurricane Ike, and 5 days due to Hurricane Gustav last week. First of all, know what you want from the fridge, retrieve it quickly, and close the door to keep the cold in. Secondly, make room on the middle shelf of your fridge to put a plastic container. I used a basin that came from my husband's last trip to the hospital, but you could use a gallon ice cream container or just a large mixing bowl.

Fill it with ice cubes, and as the ice melts, replenish it. Save the water from the melted cubes to put in your toilet tank if you also have no water. This will enable you to flush the toilet. The ice kept my fridge at 40 degrees for the entire 4 days, so I didn't have any food spoilage.
