How to manage your refrigerator, if the power goes out - NOLA

When you live in hurricane-prone areas, you're taught at a young age that "when in doubt, throw it out." It's how we stay safe from bacteria that rapidly forms on refrigerated foods during power outages.

Tropical Storm Gordon is making his way toward the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama coast on Tuesday afternoon (Sept. 4), putting the New Orleans area under a tropical storm warning. That means the area could see heavy rains and strong winds.

This could result in power outages that could turn your refrigerator into a ticking time bomb for bacteria.
