Be careful with fire. Do not strike a match until you are sure there are no breaks in gas lines. Use battery operated flashlights and lanterns instead. Keep grills outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Use your telephone only for emergencies to keep lines open for emergency communications.
Generators Fueled by gas, generators can run appliances and fans.
Refrigerators require 400-1,000 watts. Plug appliances, etc., directly into the generator, place generator outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Don't forget to check the oil every time you add gas. Conserve fuel by alternating appliances. For example, refrigerators can be kept cool by supplying power eight hours a day.
