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.
