Take the challenge: Plan ahead to keep food safe with Prepare Kansas starting Sept. 1
Ice storms, tornadoes, and flooding – Kansas has them all and more. Do you really know how long food will stay safe in the refrigerator if your power is out? Or what foods and supplies you should have on hand in case of emergencies?
Starting Sept. 1, Prepare Kansas 2016 will provide tips on keeping food safe in emergency situations. This year’s program will be conducted through the K-State Research and Extension Facebook page. No registration is required, so Kansans and anyone interested in planning ahead for emergencies can follow on Facebook at any time during September, pick up handy information and interact with K-State extension specialists and agents.
More information on Prepare Kansas will be available in September at https://www.facebook.com/KStateRE You can also follow along here on the blog as well!

It’s summer and it’s HOT
Listen to local weather forecasts to prepare for extreme heat. NEVER leave children or pets alone in hot vehicles! Cars can heat up 20 degrees in just 10 minutes!
Make sure you drink LOTS of water to stay hydrated and prevent dehydration, heat stroke & more. #BeatTheHeat and have emergency supplies in place at home, at work, and in the car.
