Does anyone have experience with #solar#generators? It's too expensive to get solar panels and a power bank installed, but I like the idea of using renewable energy for back up power. It's hard to know how much capacity one needs, or how many charges the lithium battery can take?
US Consumer Product Safety Commission: "If you've lost power due to a tornado and are using a portable generator, make sure it is outdoors and at least 20 feet away from your home. If you've set up temporary shelters and are using portable generators for power, make sure they are at least 20 feet away from any windows and vents on the shelters.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in an enclosed or partially enclosed space in just minutes. Always have working carbon monoxide alarms in your home." #tornado#safety#generators

»said they saw a warehouse in #Rafah filled with material that had been rejected in inspection. It included #oxygen cylinders, gas-powered #generators, tents and medical kits used in delivering babies.
Aid workers told the senators the tents were refused because they included metal poles, and the medical kits because they included scalpels. Most solar-powered equipment appears to be barred — though it is vital in #Gaza«
"Solar-based microgrids have also seen an uptick in adoption since Maria. During prolonged outages, they can provide a cleaner and less expensive alternative to emergency diesel generators. Diesel generators emit harmful pollutants and are expensive to operate, especially in the aftermath of a devastating storm, when fuel is scarce. " #disasters#generators#solar#hurricanes#microgrids
I posted this screenshot from Terminator 2 a few years ago, and it seems even more true today: you should be preparing kids for an uncertain future (not the blowing things up and weapons, but disaster preparedness and survival skills). "Here's how to perfect your golf game" isn't gonna do it. #DisasterPreparedness#Terminator#SkynetDay
Urban foraging skills. What can you eat that is out there, growing in your neighborhood. Weeds? "landscape" plants which are really edible?
How to put together items for disaster preparedness, and how to use them. Because, odds are, they're going to have to use them at some point.
How to maintain and run a generator, change the oil, the spark plugs, safely refill gas. Clean the carb, too, probably. 14/x #DisasterPreparedness#foraging#generators
