If you lose power during Hurricane Isaias and use a portable generator, remember to run it at least 20 feet away from your home.
Never run a generator indoors. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas you can't see or smell and it can kill in minutes.
Sometimes people will run a generator in their garage with the big door open. One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars. Even with a large door open, there is not enough ventilation to be safe.
Always run your generator outdoors and make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms.
