KEEPING YOUR COOL WITH BPL

By Mike Lightbourn

ATTENTION HOMEOWNERS: Do you have the BPL blues?

If you don’t have a back-up source of power or the backup source has failed, you’re just one of many people who are “dead vex” over the load shedding that’s been going on.

Besides dealing with the heat, a lot of people have had to throw away perishables.

Here are some tips to help keep your food from going off during a blackout.

• Turn your refrigerator into an ice chest. Place gallon jugs of frozen water in the fridge for an ice chest effect.

Remember, water expands when it freezes, so don’t fill the jugs all the way to the top. Leave a couple of inches for the ice to expand. Keep the jugs in the freezer when the power’s on.

• Make sure you have lots of ice in your freezer.

• Consider investing in a chest freezer. This will give you lots of space to hold jugs of frozen water. Chest freezers are invaluable during prolonged storm power outages.

Cold air falls so the chest freezers stay cold longer than side by sides.

• Group food together in the freezer. This helps it stay cold longer than if the contents were spread out.

• If you have a side by side refrigerator, move items to the bottom of the freezer side. Heat rises, so the bottom of the freezer will be the coldest.

• Ditto with the refrigerator side.

• Keep a thermometer in your freezer. This will pinpoint the temperature of the food when power is restored and you open the freezer for the first time. The freezer should be set to 0 °F. If the temperature is 40 degrees or lower, food will still be cold.

• Freeze any items you may not need to use, such as milk or cold cuts. Put them in the fridge a few hours before you

plan to use them.

• A refrigerator will keep your food cold for about four hours if it is unopened, but it will stay colder for significantly longer with a couple of gallons of frozen water In it.

• A freezer will stay cold 24 - 48 hours if left unopened, but will stay colder for a lot longer with lots of ice and a jug of frozen water.

• Know where everything is in the fridge to avoid opening the door for longer than necessary and allowing the cool air to escape.

• Instead of opening the fridge several times during a prolonged outage, place whatever you’ll need for the next few hours in an ice chest with one of the frozen jugs of water.

• Invest in a generator or investigate solar options. It’s a GREAT selling feature.

STAYING COOL • Open all the windows • Stay in the coolest room in the house • Wear thin, loose fitting clothes, preferably cotton • Stay hydrated! This may be obvious, but sometimes we Mike Lightbourn is president of forget just how important hydration is to body temperaColdwell Banker Lightbourn Realty ture.

• Drink cold water, if possible, to bring your body heat tains with water for the same effect.

• Invest in a generator or look into sodown. lar options. I can’t overemphasise that • Don’t eat hot food or drink anything hot • Take a cold shower or bath. Stay in the water until you it’s a great selling point. are cold.

• Sit under a shade tree to “catch the cool” in the day and QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? Contact me at: info@cbbahamas.com avoid sunlight. Don’t forget the insect repellant.

• Draw shades if the sun is beating through the windows • Try the old trick of wetting a cool cloth for the back of TO ADVERTISE CALL: your neck. This is great for heat headaches.

HURRICANE Tips After a hurricane…

Seek medical attention at first-aid stations, hospitals or clinics for persons injured during the storm.

Do not touch loose or dangling electrical wires. Report these to the power company, the nearest police station or parish council.

Report broken sewer or water mains directly to the parish council, the public works department or water resources authority for your area.

Water which has been stored should not be used immediately after the storm for washing houses, cars and

watering gardens until normal water services have been restored.

Do not empty water stored in bathtubs or other receptacles until safe drinking water is restored.

Boil all drinking water until you are sure that a safe water supply has been restored.

Watch out for fallen trees. Collect fallen branches and other debris and pile them where they can be easily collected.

Do not go outside barefooted. Avoid wearing open shoes and watch out for broken glass. http://www.odpem.org.jm
