Emergency Preparedness
Do Thing - October
GOAL FOR OCTOBER: Be able to safely meet your basic needs during
an electrical outage.
1. Have flashlights ready in an easily accessible place and check batteries in flashlights and radios.
Using battery operated lights are safer than candles. Be sure to store extra batteries.
2. Acquire and learn how to safely use a portable generator. Using a properly connected generator
of adequate size during a power outage will reduce or almost eliminate the impact a power outage
has on your life. Before you buy, talk to an electrician and think about what you want your generator
to run. Generators can be used to keep food cool, provide lights and electricity for phones and
television, power furnace blowers and pumps. The best way to use a portable generator is to
connect it to your home using a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. This will keep the
power from overloading the wiring in your home. It will also keep the power from your generator
from traveling back into the power lines, which can injure or kill people working on power lines, or
can unexpectedly re-energize downed power lines near your home. You may also connect
equipment directly to the outlets on the generator, but be sure that any extension cords are of the
proper length and gauge to handle the power requirements.
Remember: Always run generators outside. Never use a generator inside a house, in a basement,
or garage. Never use a cord from a generator to backfeed a circuit in your house.
3. Create a power outage plan and decide what you can do before, during and after a power outage
to minimize the effect on your household.
