The government may recommend that perishable foods, such as meat, dairy, and produce, be discarded after a hurricane or flood to prevent foodborne illnesses. This is because these foods could have been exposed to unsafe conditions during the disaster, such as temperature fluctuations or contamination. It is also advisable to discard any food that has come in contact with floodwaters.

One possible solution is to invest in flood protection infrastructure such as levees, flood walls, and stormwater management systems. Additionally, implementing early warning systems and evacuation plans can help mitigate the impact of floods caused by hurricanes like Irene. Increasing green spaces and implementing natural solutions like wetland restoration can also help absorb excess water and reduce flooding risk.
It is generally safer to stay on the main level of a building, rather than in a basement, during a hurricane. Basements can flood quickly during heavy rain, potentially trapping you inside with rising water levels. It is best to seek shelter in an interior room on a higher level of the building.
