If you've lost power in New York City and somehow have access to a portable generator do not use it indoors. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that cannot be seen or smelled and can kill within minutes #NYCblackout #Blackout

CPSC recommends portable generators of all size be used outdoors and at least 20ft away from a home. Please do not attempt to use a generator in a basement or stairwell. Even small generators produce enough carbon monoxide to kill.

The initial symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath. If you believe you are experiencing these symptoms get to fresh air immediately and seek medical assistance #Blackout #NYCblackout
