During a power outage, it is important to avoid eating any raw or cooked foods that have been at room temperature for more than 2 hours to avoid food-borne illness. Using a charcoal grill in the kitchen can be dangerous and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Using water from a swimming pool or car's radiator is also not safe for washing or cooking food. Serving foods from dented or bulging cans can lead to botulism, which is a serious form of food poisoning.
