FLORIDIANS!!!

Most important thing to remember: PRACTICE GENERATOR SAFETY

Do NOT run it indoors

Do NOT run it in a closed garage

Do NOT exhaust it too close to a wall

DO run it in a well ventilated area (under your porch, in an open garage)

DO chain it up / bike lock it

DO treat it like a live bomb

Most of the deaths from Hurricane Ida directly or indirectly resulted from improper generator use. If you have a CO alarm, make sure the batteries are fresh. It saved my life because our generator vented into the attic from outside and filled the entire house with CO. If we had not had the alarm, I wouldn’t be here today.
