From a hurricane evac page:
Quote:
Turn your refrigerator and freezer to coldest settings. Open only when absolutely necessary, then close quickly.
In the event that you need to evacuate your home, unplug appliances to prevent damage in case of an electrical power surge.

Though it seems that would be in the case that you've already lost power. If the home were to make it through fine having not lost power, you've needlessly ruined all your food. So it's a judgement call, I guess.
