Power continues to return Glasgow Daily TimesThe Kentucky Depart-ment of Public Health (DPH) has released information about what people who have been without power should do with refrigerated food.
Food should be safe if power is out no longer than four hours or if the temperature in the refrigerator is 41 degrees or cooler, according to the DPH. The DPH is also warning people not to use portable generators, propane gas stoves or ovens heated with gasoline indoors because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Those without power should also dress in layers, not consume alcohol and stay as dry as possible in an attempt to avoid hypothermia, according to the DPH. The recent efforts show the level of cooperation between emergency management in the 10-county Barren River Area Development District, Kidd said. “The emergency management directors and the county judges in the 10 counties get together and meet at least once a month,” he said. Warren and Monroe counties have already been able to send help to other counties within the area, Kidd said. Cooperation like this is what’s needed in these situations, he said. Mammoth Cave National Park continues to operate in emergency status. The visitor center, hotel and limited tours are being offered, according to Vickie Carson, spokeswoman for the park. Mammoth Cave Parkway, Ky. 70, Ky. 422, and Park Ridge Road have been reopened. All other park roads remain closed. Damage from the storm was much more severe north of the Green River at the park.
