During an extended power outage, temperatures in your refrigerator and freezer will begin to rise. As temperatures rise, harmful bacteria can grow on your food. #Do1Thing and take steps to make sure your food stays safe.

#Do1Thing Put aside a three-day food supply for disasters. Follow the BUS rule to help you. BUS stands for balance, usability, and shelf-life.

We'd like to wish everyone a happy birthday who may not get to celebrate with friends and family during this time. We hope your birthday is filled with lots of love and happiness!
