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



While in use or kept in the truck bed, I used a long cable with a lock to secure the generator and fuel.  While the fuel could be siphoned, the cable slows anyone down long enough for me to get an accurate shot if they try to take the generator.  ;o)

Wasn't "highlighted" but security was definitely mentioned, without going into each of the types of security risks.  Examiner prefers articles not to exceed certain lengths.

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.
