Power out? Generator safety

Never run a generator indoors, in the garage, or on a porch, even with the door open.
Keep it at least 20 feet from doors, windows and vents, with the exhaust pointed away from the house.
Use a battery carbon monoxide (CO) alarm inside. If it sounds or you feel dizzy, get to fresh air and call 911.
No backfeeding: never plug a generator into a wall outlet or the panel. Use heavy outdoor cords, or have an electrician install a transfer switch.
Let the engine cool before refueling, and store fuel away from the house.
Chainsaw safety: do not cut trees or limbs touching or near power lines. Stay back and call your utility (Alabama Power at 1-800-888-2726, or Baldwin EMC if you are a member).
