IF YOU ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER, YOU MIGHT WONDER HOW YOU WILL FEED YOUR FAMILY.
COOK MEALS USING A FIREPLACE, CAMP STOVE, OR CHARCOAL GRILL. BE SURE TO USE THE CAMP STOVE OR GRILL OUTSIDE BECAUSE THEIR FUMES CAN BE DEADLY.
HERE ARE SOME OTHER HINTS:
• CHOOSE FOODS THAT COOK QUICKLY. PACKAGED SURVIVAL OR CAMPING FOODS ARE GOOD CHOICES.
• PREPARE AND EAT COMMERCIALLY CANNED FOODS IN THEIR ORIGINAL CONTAINERS WHEN POSSIBLE.
• SUBSTITUTE CANNED AND POWDERED MILK FOR FRESH MILK.
• MIX POWDERED MILK WITH BOTTLED OR BOILED WATER ONLY UNTIL YOUR WATER SUPPLY IS CERTIFIED SAFE TO USE.
• USE LIQUIDS FROM CANNED VEGETABLES AND FRUITS FOR DRINKING AND COOKING.
• DRINK BOTTLED WATER, FRUIT JUICE, OR DRINKS, NEVER WATER FROM QUESTIONABLE SOURCES.
• IN VERY HOT WEATHER, YOU MAY WANT A SPORTS DRINK. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT YOUR COUNTY EXTENSION CENTER OR CALL THE U.S.D.A. HOTLINE AT: 1-800-535-4555.
