Here are some power outage safety tips for ensuring your food is safe to eat after a power outage from the Federal Emergency Management Agency:

Be safe after a power outage. When in doubt, throw it out!

• Throw away any food that has been exposed to temperatures 40 degrees or higher for two hours or more or that has an unusual odor, color, or texture
• If the power is out for more than a day, discard any medication that should be refrigerated unless the drug’s label says otherwise.
• If a life depends on the refrigerated drugs, consult a doctor or pharmacist and use the medicine only until a new supply is available

It’s also a good idea to check on your neighbors. Older adults and young children are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
