 When a major storm hits like a hurricane you may lose power and that includes power to your refrigerator and your freezer. To prepare go ahead and move food from your fridge that can be frozen into a well sealed freezer. A full freezer retains its cold much better than one that's empty. For frozen foods they can last in a well stocked freezer for 24 to 48 hours. If your freezer is not full go ahead and group the items together to form an igloo so they can protect each other. Remember always keep the doors closed no peeking. For refrigerated medicines check with your doctor or your pharmacist about your medication stability at room temperature if your outage lasts more than a couple hours. Many medicines can be stored at room temperature for varying periods of time. It's always a good idea to have a two week supply in case there's an emergency.
