TIPS ON HOW TO WEATHER A STORM:
-
Freezers/refrigerators: First, open the freezer door as little as possible. With a freezer that’s full, foods can stay frozen up to 72 hours. A half-full freezer can still keep food frozen up to 24 hours after the power goes out. Should the power stay off for several days, dry ice can preserve the food in the freezer. If you have a picnic cooler, and time to make ice in your own refrigerator, fill the cooler before the storm hits. Members may also want to fill up any type container (bowls, bottles, etc.) with water and place them in their freezers. This ice will then be available to help keep food frozen longer if power is lost. Transfer some of this ice to the unfrozen refrigerator compartment to help keep this area cool for a longer period of time.
-
Generator use: If you lose power, take the proper precautions when using a generator. Place the generator outside the home as CO fumes are odorless and can quickly overwhelm you indoors. Also, never connect generators to another power source such as power lines. The reverse flow of electricity or ‘backfeed’ can electrocute an unsuspecting utility worker.
-
Be cautious: During high winds, electric lines can be torn down by limbs and trees. Any dangling line or lines on the ground can be deadly. All downed lines should be considered live. Call GreyStone’s office at 1-866-GREYSTONE (473-9786) to report a downed line, outage or any hazardous situation. GreyStone crews will be on the job 24 hours a day.
