Generators & power outages

Generators make deadly carbon monoxide. Run them outside only.

  • Run generators outdoors, at least 20 feet from the house, pointed away from windows and doors.
  • Never run a generator in a garage, basement or porch.
  • Let it cool before refueling.
  • Plug appliances in with heavy-duty outdoor extension cords.
  • Use flashlights, not candles, when the power is out.

In an emergency, always call 911.
