Storm Knocks Out Power in Hermantown Homes and Businesses?
5/16/2023 (Permalink)
Storms can occur at any time of the year in Hermantown. Our local Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties teams are trained and certified to mitigate and restore storm damage quickly and efficiently, and with little disruption to your household. Power outages are common during storms, and there are things you can do in advance to prepare your food stores. The United States Department of Agriculture offers these helpful tips:
- Keep the freezer full. Fill empty spaces with frozen plastic jugs of water, bags of ice, or gel packs.
- Keep an appliance thermometer in both the refrigerator and freezer. Make sure the refrigerator temperature is at 40 °F or below and the freezer is at 0°F or below.
- Group foods together in both the refrigerator and freezer. This helps foods stay cold longer.
- Freeze refrigerated items that you may not need immediately, such as leftovers, milk, and fresh meat and poultry. This will keep them at a safe temperature for longer.
- Have a large, insulated cooler and frozen gel packs available. Perishable foods will stay safe in a refrigerator for only 4 hours.
- Find out where dry ice and block ice can be purchased
