Re: [californiadisasters] Portable Generators Pose Problems in Disaster Preparedness Plans

One problem not highlighted in the article is the fact that portable
generators also make noise, creating security problems against theft
when the unit is running. During the massive power outage in south
Orange County last year, one vendor was using a portable generator
running on the sidewalk outside the business to power their
point-of-purchase system. Suddenly, the system stopped working when
someone simply unplugged the unit and ran away with it.

Your 'friendly' neighbors make not take too kindly to you protecting
your refrigerated or freezer items when they are watching hundreds of
dollars of food or medications spoil because their own units are not
working.

Be safe. Get prepared. Stay ready.
