3 After a Disaster Personal Safety If you evacuated, don t return home until local authorities say it s safe. Watch out for fallen power lines, broken gas lines or other damage. Pet Safety Keep a close eye on pets as the stress of a disaster could cause them to act differently or become aggressive. Watch out for hazards at nose and paw level, such as debris or spilled chemicals that could harm your pet. Cross Pet First Aid to have expert advice in the palm of your hand. Power Outages Use a flashlight instead of candles to prevent a home fire. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. To avoid an electrical surge when power returns, turn off and unplug all unnecessary electrical equipment. Report downed power lines to your electric company and keep children and pets away from the area. Food Safety In most situations, if a power outage is two hours or less, perishable foods should be safe. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods cold enough for a couple of hours at least. A freezer that is half full will hold for up to 24 hours and a full freezer for 48 hours Remember the phrase when in doubt, throw it out. Toss any items that have been exposed to temperatures greater than 40 degrees for more than two hours or have an unusual odor, color or texture. s Cross to find shelter locations and get instant access to information and resources on what to do after a [Disaster The includes a Family Safe feature that allows people to check on loved ones and instantly see if they are okay even if that person hasn t downloaded the. is available for free in app stores by searching for or by going to redcross.org/apps Disaster Public Affairs Messaging Page 58
