Handling refrigerated food in outages
Severe storms in Ohio caused widespread power outages, leaving many residents without functioning refrigerators. Public health officials warn that perishable food should be discarded if not kept cold within four hours of power loss, especially if opened. To preserve food longer, residents are advised to use coolers with ice or transfer items to freezers; certain non-perishable foods and condiments may be safe beyond the four-hour window. Local organizations are providing food assistance to those impacted, and residents are encouraged to check their insurance policies for potential reimbursement of spoiled groceries.
