Residential Standby Generators
Full-force hurricanes and tropical storms pose a threat from coastal Texas all the way up to the Mid-Atlantic states. Areas hit especially hard may be without power for extended periods. Heavily populated areas and regions experiencing fast growth may be subject to periodic brownouts and blackouts. This can happen especially when the power grid is overtaxed by the use of additional air conditioning during hot spells. Tornadoes and ice storms plague a huge portion of this country. Both can lead to widespread outages and extended outages. Cold weather can turn a minor inconvenience into a life-threatening situation. Who’s at risk? In addition to perennial threats from Mother Nature, a recent study conducted by the United States Department of Energy indicates that the most prevalent source of future blackouts could be overworked power grids. In the past decade, the demand for power has increased by 35 percent while overall capacity has only grown by 18 percent. • Hurricane season of 2005 produced 28 named storms • Blackout on August 14th, 2003 For information concerning emergency planning, preparation and residential standby generators, visit: www.cumminsonan.com for their Home Preparedness Brochure. • Assemble an emergency supply kit Additional information available at:
