Large parts of the country are experiencing power outages as a result of winter weather storms. If you’re using a portable back-up generator, make sure you run it outside to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

To make sure you’re operating your generator safely: Use it outside the house or garage. Keep it at least 20 feet away from windows, doors and vents. Use a battery operated CO detector outside bedrooms.  Never ignored a beeping CO detector. Go outside and call 911 if the alarm sounds.
