Power Outage Related Emergencies, Deaths, Injuries, Losses

We have over 20 inches of snow in the Shenandoah Valley and a wind advisory overnight.  Luckily, our home has not lost power during these recent storms, but we know many that have and we have seen coverage of deaths and damage from the use of gas generators be it house fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, or running out of gas.
Please take precautions to not be one of these casualties!  If you must use a gas generator or open flame, please do so w/considerable forethought and following manufacturers directions. 
Or consider a safer, clean energy option such as a renewable energy generator rechargable by solar or wind (which always seems to come the day after the storm).
Stay safe and stay warm.

  2. As we head into another unpredictable winter, this is good advice. The dangers of using generators and heaters improperly cannot be overstated.
    P.S. I did not know there are emergency generators that are wind- or solar-powered. I'm going to Google that right now. :)

  4. One company that is pioneering solar emergency generators is called Solutions from Science. They have a model that generates about 1800Watts. It is not as powerful as the carbon fuel generators however, it will run emergency appliances.

    PS I found this site on google looking for power outage information.

  5. Yes, the Solutions from Science model is possibly a good option depending on your needs.  I believe they also go by another name and are currently doing major TV and radio advertising.  Their inverter is a good, moderate size, but make sure you also look at the battery's storage capacity since 600Whr can get used up quickly.
