• “To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, use generators, pressure washers, grills, and similar items outdoors only.
• If the power is out longer than two hours, throw away food that has a temperature higher than 40°F.
• Check with local authorities to be sure your water is safe.
• In hot weather, stay cool and drink plenty of fluids to prevent heat-related illness.
• In cold weather, wear layers of clothing, which help to keep in body heat.
• Avoid downed power lines, if a power line falls on a car, you should stay inside the vehicle.”
