  • Please do not connect your home generator directly to your home or business’s wiring.
  • The generator should be connected through an approved cut-off switch that will automatically disconnect the home or business from the power grid when the generator is being used.
  • This work must be done by a licensed electrician.

Thawed or partially thawed food in the freezer may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40 °F or below. Partial thawing and refreezing may affect the quality of some food, but the food will be safe to eat.

Never taste food to determine its safety! You can’t rely on appearance or odor to determine whether food is safe. 
Note: Always discard any items in the freezer that have come into contact with raw meat juices.
