Can you imagine your business or home being swiped off by a disaster? Would you be prepared? This episode zeroes in on disaster preparedness and food safety, a topic that is often overlooked until it hits home. We dissect the far-reaching impacts of disasters like floods, fires, and power outages on businesses and homes, underscoring the imperativeness of preparedness. We also shed light on the criticality of food safety during such times, discussing the necessity of temperature recording and maintaining a food log to prevent total loss.

With businesses, particularly restaurants, facing a unique set of challenges in the face of disasters, we lay out some lifelines. We delve into the preparation for water main breaks and wildfires, ways to salvage food during a disaster, and discuss the need for an emergency plan. We also explore the role of essential assets such as a reefer truck and the importance of record-keeping when shifting food from one location to another.

Beyond the immediate disaster response, the road to recovery is often a steep climb. We emphasize the importance of post-disaster food safety, which includes cleaning, sanitizing, pest control, and discarding perishable food, among other things. From potential hazards like fire extinguishers and flooding to the crucial role of public health in the recovery process, we discuss it all. By listening to this episode, you'd be better equipped to safeguard your business and home from the devastating effects of a disaster.
