Hurricane Recovery
Prevent Illness From Food and Water After a Hurricane or Flood
Throw away food that may have come in contact with flood or storm water.
Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible and add block ice or dry ice if the electricity is expected to be off longer than 4 hours.
Local authorities will tell you if tap water is safe to drink or use for cooking or bathing.
If the water is unsafe, follow the directions of local authorities to safely disinfect the water.
