Food in a fridge is good only for four hours, if the doors remain closed. The food in the freezer should be good for 36 hours if the doors remained closed.

We lost power for about 20-some hours during the hurricane season of 2004. (We were very lucky, obviously!). The stuff in my freezer was still frozen. I may have thrown some milk away but that was it for the fridge. It might depend on your freezer/fridge. Ours was only 2 years old at the time. But, when in doubt, throw it out.

We had a 12 hour power outage in my hometown & the stuff in the refrigerator was fine because I didn't let anyone open it. The stuff in the freezer was still frozen.

9 hours is a pretty long time. I would think the stuff in the freezer is ok. I wouldn't take the chance on anything in the fridge that can have bacteria, like any meats or veggies. That's just my opinion, though.
