Storm Warnings - Hurricane Preparedness

This is the season when the East and Gu;f Coasts are always beset by hurricanes. Sadly enough the late summer is interrupted by these forces of nature. Anything could happen. Are you prepared?

First of all empty your fridge if you have to evacuate or the power goes out (which it always does)Get rid of anything that's going to turn fast like dairy products or meat. You don;t have to empty the freezer as well. It should remain cold during a black out if no one opens it. If you have basement freezers (which I'm sure some of you have) then unplug them and also empty because your basement may be come flooded. Power could go out and you'll wind up with pounds of rotten meat. Try to keep as much bottled water , bread , peanut butter and jams for quick meals. Also think of tinned food such as Spam to eat.

If you have to be evacuated, bring food with you. That also goes for your pets as well. bring a few cans of wet food for your dog or cat along with dry. Also have plenty of water for everyone. Make quick PB or deviled ham or chicken sandwiches to keep you going. As for snacks a bag of pretzels is also good too.

This storm and hurricane season be food prepared. Do what you have to to get through this tough weather,
