During a power outage, it is important to not eat raw or cooked foods that have been at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Bacteria can grow rapidly at room temperature and can cause food-borne illness. Using a charcoal grill in the kitchen is dangerous and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Using water from a swimming pool or car's radiator is not safe for consumption or washing dishes. Serving foods from dented or bulging cans first is not safe as they may be contaminated or spoiled.
