As part of the Pierce is Prepared program, a list of best practices has been compiled in anticipation of hurricane season and other potential extreme weather events.
Generator safety is a top priority for storm season. Portable generators can be lifesavers during power outages, but if used incorrectly, they can be deadly. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless gas and generators produce a lot of it. Protect your family by following these key tips: ▪ Always use generators outside and at least 20 feet away from doors, windows and vents.
▪ Never run a generator in a garage, even with the door open.
