needed.

SALVATION ARMY
• Twelve Salvation Army Disaster Canteens (mobile kitchens) from various
locations in Arkansas and Oklahoma are roaming in the Shawnee and
Moore devastation areas.
• This assistance will continue for the foreseeable future as The Salvation
Army is committed to supporting the residents of this community as they
return to their homes and begin rebuilding their lives.
FOOD SAFETY
• Processes must be in place to ensure that products and services
do not inadvertently harm or put at risk the very people who are
impacted by the tornado or those assisting the families or those
involved in clean-up efforts.
• One such area of concern is the availability of free food or food
for sale for residents, responders and relief workers in the
storm-damaged areas.
• The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) notes that
while the availability of these food options is helpful for workers
and residents, it is important to remember that even in a natural
disaster, food served to the public must be safe.
•
Foodborne illnesses such as E. coli, salmonella, and hepatitis A
caused by improper food preparation and handling practices can
be serious threats to rescue workers and shelter residents. A few
simple precautions can ensure everyone’s safety at this critical
time.
• The OSDH recommends food vendors serve items that do not
require refrigeration and can be eaten without
heating. Packaged, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat foods are the best
option when safe refrigeration and cooking are a problem.
The OSDH said environmental specialists from local county health departments
are on site in the storm-damaged areas to ensure food products offered to the
public are safe.
SOURCE: OKLAHOMA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (OSDH)
RECOMMENDATION FOR FOOD SAFETY:
•
Protect food from flying debris and insects by using screens
in any open food areas.
•
Thaw frozen food properly prior to cooking, and cool food
rapidly prior to storage.
•
Cook all food thoroughly, serve at correct temperature, and
avoid cross-contamination.
•
Use clean utensils to handle cooked foods.
•
Wash your hands, dishes and utensils used for preparing
and serving food, with water from a safe source.
•
The OSDH reminds food handlers to utilize good hygiene
practices, wear gloves, and minimize food holding times.
