IF it is in a fridge where the temperature is between +2 and  +5c then  yes.
If in a freezer it will be good for 12+ hours assuming it is normally at 
better
than -20c and you keep the doors closed.

For the fridge check the temp and if still below +8 it is still good.

Under these conditions I would suggest you cook off as much as possible
assuming after cooking and cooling the power is back on.

Cooked food will have a longer fridge and freezer life i.e., 3+ days in the
fridge depending on product/s.

Note above temps are in centigrade.
