[分享] Food Safety During An Earthquake Earthquake, Safety, During, Food

To keep food safe and avoid food poisoning, know what foods to store before an earthquake and how to handle foods afterwards.
Experts advise those living in earthquake areas to keep a three-day supply of emergency food and water. ASSEMBLING AN EMERGENCY FOOD SUPPLY
Because gas and electric power systems may be damaged during an earthquake, it's important to have food on hand that doesn't need refrigeration.

• Canned goods are best, like ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables.
  • Foods in glass bottles and jars may break during a disaster.
  • Canned foods can be kept almost indefinitely as long as they aren't leaking or bulging.
    • For optimum quality, however, replace canned goods every year to year-and-a-half.
  • Canned foods can be heated indoors with candle warmers or chafing dishes.
  • Outside, use a charcoal grill, hibachi or camp stove removing the paper label from the can so it doesn't burn.
• Smoked or dried meats like beef jerky
• Juices--canned, powdered or crystallized
• Soups--bouillon cubes or dried "soups in a cup"
• Milk--powdered or canned
• Staples--sugar, salt, pepper
• High energy foods--peanut butter, jelly, crackers, nuts, trail mix
• Stress foods--sugar cookies, hard candy, sweetened cereals
• Vitamins
• 1 gallon of water per person per day (3 gallons per person)

When putting together your emergency supplies, store foods your family normally eats, plus favorite treats.

• Avoid stocking foods that are high in salt that will increase thirst.
• Store foods in small serving sizes.
  • Without refrigeration, "leftovers" can lead to food poisoning.
• Don't forget canned and non-perishable pet foods.
• Store one or two manual can openers with your emergency food supply.

WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF OUR FOOD?
After a quake, you know you can count on your emergency food supply. But, does that mean that all the food in the refrigerator and freezer is "spoiled?" According to experts from USDA's Meat and Poultry Hotline, food in the refrigerator and freezer is more at risk when the power goes out, but loss of power doesn't necessarily mean loss of food. Generally, food in the refrigerator is safe as long as the power is out no more than a few hours and the temperature in the refrigerator remains at 40 degrees farenheit or below.

• Food in a full free-standing freezer will be safe for about two days at zero degrees farenheit
• a half-full freezer for about one day.
  • If the freezer isn't full, group together packages so they form an igloo shape, protecting each other.
  • Group meat and poultry to one side or on a tray so their juices won't contaminate other foods if they begin to thaw.

At greatest risk:

• Meat and poultry
• Food containing milk, cream, sour cream or soft cheese.

You can't rely on appearance or odor to tell you whether a food will make you sick. If perishable foods have been at room temperature for more than two hours, disease-causing bacteria may have multiplied enough to cause illness. When in doubt, throw it out!

不要储备高盐食品，因为会导致口渴

地震时期的食品安全
为了保证食品安全，避免食品变质，要掌握在震前贮存食品和震后处理食品的知识。专家建议，生活在地震区域的人们应保存维持3天食用的应急食品和水。
组配应急食品供应品
因为地震时期煤气、电力可能受损，因此手头拥有无需冷藏的食品至关重要。最好是罐头食品，像即食的肉类罐头、水果罐头和蔬菜罐头。
玻璃瓶和玻璃罐中的食品在地震时可能破损。只要没有破损和胀气，罐头食品可以无限期保存。但是，为了最佳质量，每年或每一年半更换一下食品。
罐头食品在室内可用蜡烛加热装置或火锅加热。在室外使用木炭烤架、木炭火盆或野营炉具加热，去掉罐头上的纸质标签，这样就不会灼伤人。
熏制或干制的肉类，如牛肉干。
果汁——罐装的、制粉的或结晶状的。
汤类——肉汤料块或装杯的干制品（快熟汤）。
牛奶——奶粉或牛奶罐头。
原料——糖、盐、胡椒粉。
高能量食品——花生酱、甜果冻、饼干、坚果、果仁混合品。
含糖饼干、硬糖、加糖的谷类食品。
维生素。
每人每天1加仑的水（每人3加仑）[注：1加仑=3.78升]
当组备应急供应品时，要贮存你家经常食用的食品，加上特别喜欢的小吃。

避免贮存会增加口渴的高盐食品。
贮存节省空间的食品。
没有冷藏时，吃剩的食品会导致变质。
不要忘了罐装或不易腐的宠物食品。
在贮存应急供应食品时同时保存1个或2个手动开罐器。
如何处置其他食品？
地震后，你可以依赖应急的食品供给品。但这并不意味着所有冰箱和冷柜的食品都变质了。据美国农业部肉类和家禽热线的专家说，当断电后冰箱或冷柜中的食品风险增大，但并非意味着食品损失了。通常断电后几小时内，冰箱内温度会保持在华氏40度以下，冰箱内的食品还是安全的。
完全冷冻在冰柜中的食品在约2天可保持华氏0度。半冷冻的食品在冰柜内可保存1天。
如果冷柜不满，要将食品堆放成圆顶建筑形状彼此互相保护。要将肉类和家禽堆放在一边或放在托盘上以防解冻后污染其他食品。
风险最大的食品
肉类和家禽
含牛奶、奶油、酸奶油和软奶酪的食品。
你不能依靠外观或气味判别食品能否致病。易腐食品在室温下超过2小时致病菌就会成倍繁殖导致疾病。当有怀疑时，就要丢弃这些食品！
