Managing Food without Power

Following a disaster there may be power outages that could last for several days. Stock canned foods, dry mixes and other staples that do not require refrigeration, cooking, water or special preparation. Be sure to include a manual can opener and eating utensils.

Consider the following things when putting together your emergency food supplies:

Store at least a several-day supply of non-perishable food.

Choose foods your family will eat.

Remember any special dietary needs.

We suggest the following items when selecting emergency food supplies. You may already have many of these on hand. Download the Recommended Supplies List (PDF).

Protein or fruit bars

Dry cereal or granola

Peanut butter

Dried fruit

Canned juices

Non-perishable pasteurized milk

High-energy foods

Food for infants

Comfort/stress foods

Food Safety and Sanitation

Without electricity or a cold source food stored in refrigerators and freezers can become unsafe. Bacteria in food grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit and if these foods are consumed you can become very sick. Thawed food usually can be eaten if it is still “refrigerator cold.” It can be re-frozen if it still contains ice crystals. Remember “When in doubt, throw it out.”

Do: Keep food in covered containers.

Keep cooking and eating utensils clean.

Throw away any food that has come into contact with contaminated flood water. Throw away any food that has been at room temperature for two hours or more.

Throw away any food that has an unusual odor, color or texture.

Use ready-to-feed formula. If you must mix infant formula use bottled water or boiled water as a last resort. Don’t: Eat foods from cans that are swollen, dented or corroded, even though the product may look safe to eat. Eat any food that looks or smells abnormal, even if the can looks normal.

Let garbage accumulate inside, both for fire and sanitation reasons.

Cooking

Alternative cooking sources can be used in times of emergency including candle warmers, chafing dishes, fondue pots or a fireplace. Charcoal grills and camp stoves are for outdoor use only. Commercially canned food may be eaten out of the can without warming.

To heat food in a can:

Remove the label. Thoroughly wash and disinfect the can. (Use a diluted solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water.) Open the can before heating.

Managing Food without Power

The refrigerator will keep food cold for about four hours if it is unopened. Refrigerated or frozen foods should be kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below for proper food storage.

Use a refrigerator thermometer to check temperature.

Refrigerated food should be safe as long as the power was out for no more than four hours. Discard any perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs or leftovers that have been above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours or more.

Using Dry Ice:

Know where you can get dry ice prior to a power outage.

Twenty-five pounds of dry ice will keep a 10 cubic foot freezer below freezing for three to four days. If you use dry ice to keep your food cold, make sure it does not come in direct contact with the food. Use care when handling dry ice. Wear dry, heavy gloves to avoid injury.

What organ do you not need?

The appendix may be the most commonly known useless organ. Many years ago, the appendix may have helped people digest plants that were rich in cellulose, Gizmodo reported. While plant-eating vertebrates still rely on their appendix to help process plants, the organ is not part of the human digestive system.

Some human body parts have become useless over the past few million years. Useless body parts include the appendix, the tail bone, and the muscle fibers that produce goose bumps.

The appendix, for example, is not an essential body part (though some research suggests it may act as storage for good bacteria). In some cases, the appendix gets inflamed or ruptures, which requires surgical removal of the organ. Several other body parts used to be important for humans' survival, but they have since become useless. Some of them can be removed, and the absence of them does not lower people's quality of life. Business Insider spoke with Dorsa Amir, an evolutionary anthropologist at Boston College, to learn more about what she calls "evolutionary leftovers." Amir said that if a trait becomes no longer useful but remains harmless to humans, then it tags along for the evolutionary ride. Take a look at nine body parts that remained in the human body despite having no function for millions of years.
