hi diane, here is hurricane territory we are advised if the electricity goes off for a time, but if the frozen foods still have ice crystals in them, you can refreeze. not sure the exact technicalities of this, but i bet there is a food safety website or hurricane safety issues type site that could give you the info. don't see why breastmilk would be much different from another food regarding refreezing it.
