Food Safety

Food Safety

Severe weather events can mean power outages, floods, and other problems that can affect the safety of food.
Knowing what to do before and after a weather event can help you reduce your risk of illness. By following
these guidelines, you can also minimize the amount of food that may be lost due to spoilage.
Especially in storm-prone areas, power outages can be a common problem. Power outages can occur at any time
of the year and it may take from a few hours to several days for electricity to be restored to residential areas.
Without electricity or a cold source, food stored in refrigerators and freezers can become unsafe. Bacteria in food
grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 °F, and if these foods are consumed, people can become very sick.

Have you heard of the Cooperative Difference?

Two aspects of a cooperative make us different from other types of utilities.

Roughrider Electric Cooperative members are owners in the cooperative. We exist because of you. We were formed to bring safe and reliable electricity to our members--it's our mission and purpose. And our members elect fellow members to represent them on the board of directors, maintaining democratic control of the cooperative.

We are local. 

When you need to talk to someone simply call or stop in and visit with a Roughrider employee right here in your community.
