⚠ Generator Safety — Read This First

Never run a generator indoors. Not in a garage. Not on a porch. Not near any window, door, or vent. Generators produce carbon monoxide — a colorless, odorless gas that kills quickly and without warning. Always operate generators at least 20 feet from your home, with the exhaust pointing away from any structure. Install battery-operated CO detectors on every level of your home.

Power Outage

🧊 Food Safety

Keep fridge closed. Food stays safe for 4 hours in a closed refrigerator. A full freezer holds temperature for 48 hours. Use a food thermometer — discard anything above 40°F (4°C).

🔦 Lighting

Use battery or solar lanterns. Never use candles unattended. LED lanterns last much longer than traditional bulbs on the same battery set.

📱 Communication

Conserve phone battery. Download offline maps. A battery-powered NOAA weather radio is your backup when cell towers fail.

🌡️ Heat & Cooling

Heat stroke kills. Locate your nearest cooling shelter before storm season. Stay hydrated and check on elderly neighbors during extended outages.

Store at least 1 gallon per person per day for a minimum of 3 days — 7 days is better. A family of four needs 12–28 gallons minimum. Don't forget water for pets. Fill bathtubs as a backup source, but don't rely on that water for drinking without treatment.
No. Never. Generators produce carbon monoxide — a colorless, odorless gas that kills in minutes at high concentrations. Always run generators at least 20 feet from your home, with the exhaust pointing away from doors, windows, and vents. Install CO detectors on every floor.
Leave when your local officials issue an evacuation order for your zone. Don't wait for a mandatory order — voluntary orders are a warning sign. If you're in Zone A (lowest elevation, highest risk), treat any watch as a reason to prepare to leave. Shelter-in-place only if evacuation is genuinely impossible.
Water (1 gallon/person/day), 3 days of food, medications, first aid kit, flashlight, weather radio, phone charger, copies of important documents (ID, insurance, prescriptions), cash, extra clothing, and supplies for children or pets. Keep the bag light enough to carry quickly.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) maintains six rotating lists of Atlantic hurricane names. The same list repeats every six years unless a storm is so deadly or destructive that its name is retired and replaced. Names are pre-assigned alphabetically, alternating between male and female names, starting with A each season.
