About
This video describes how to keep food and water safe after a radiation emergency. It says to drink only bottled or sealed drinks, since boiling tap water does not remove radioactive material. Food in sealed containers or inside your fridge is safe if you wipe it off before opening. Do not eat food from your garden until officials say it’s okay. For babies, use stored breast milk or formula if possible; clean all feeding items well. Always follow advice from emergency officials and take steps to avoid eating or drinking anything that could be contaminated with radiation.
