If possible freeze milk in individual servings so you don't have to thaw out the full amount.

Have batteries,flashlights,candles and bottled water in storage. Also have food storage back-up that has been recycled. I also have a water filter.

Put a coffee cup of frozen water in the freezer. Put a coin on top. If the coin has sunk you will know the power was off long enough to start defrosting.

Before evacuating for a storm it is a good idea to put frozen contents in a garbage bag. When you return home and realize that your power was out, or still don't have power - simply throw bags out
