Re: FEMA ice
said by Locutus65  :Ice is needed for people to keep the perishable food we already had cold. No electricity = no freezer or fridge. And certain medicines need to be in the cold as well.

Anyways if you had a serious need for a working freezer wouldn't you have bought a generator and plenty of gas before the hurricane?

But then again, that's really an entirely different discussion.

Anyways if you had a serious need for a working freezer wouldn't you have bought a generator and plenty of gas before the hurricane? We have no generator (yet) and are buying our own ice to keep one meal's worth of food cold until dinner time. We have to go out every day and shop for food, ice, and supplies for that day. It takes several hours to do this. We are eating whatever for breakfast and lunch is something we can easily grab while out for the day's supplies. I cook a dinner every evening from what we were able to buy that day.
How do you figure that people are trying to keep frozen foods? Personally, we are just trying to have cold water and one meal's worth of food.
ETA: All of our "frozen" foods are still sitting on the curb waiting for trash pick up. Due to the heat, we lost all of our refrigerated or frozen food. |

| After Wilma I used up all the frozen stuff I could first (this was before I had a generator), cooking on the grill doing foil meals or whatever would work.
Of course the frozen packaged stuff can be pretty well written off many times if it requires a microwave to heat up.
