For peptides that need refrigeration, what is the solution for for extended power outages?

Basically the title. I was just thinking about this as hurricane Ian pummeled through Florida, and apparently 2 million are stuck without electricity. Some of these power outages could last a day, some of them could last last over a week in some areas. (In Florida specifically I doubt that, but PR dealt with very long power outages in the past due to hurricanes)

The only solution that I could think of would be to have an insulated container bag like this one with ice packs in it, stored in a fridge with several ice bags, and not opening the fridge almost at all if possible until the electricity comes back.

But that solution would probably only be good for 2-3 days at most, I presume?

Do all peptides get ruined at room temperature?

What do you guys do during extended power outages?

And what about travelling with peptides? What do you do?

GHRP-6 (not reconstituted) is a simple peptide chain and is relatively resistant to degradation at room temperature for almost five years. Longer chains like IGF-1 and hGH are not so resistant. High performance liquid chromatographic analysis showed that the peptide after reconstitution was stable at 4 C (40F) for at least 2 weeks, degradation at that point is very slow. A reconstituted peptide left at room temperature for 2-3 days will be fine. If you can get ice, just put the vials in the ice chest and they will be fine.

Travel - I have put individual doses in separate syringes and frozen them for use when you arrive. The rest you can reconstitute from a fresh vial and store in a hotel refrigerator. However, do not freeze and thaw more than once.

What do I do when the power goes out......we have a whole house Generac generator. We live in a hurricane zone and learned quickly.
