In the wake of recent storms, many people have inquired about using portable generators during storm events.  Portable generators are very attractive for emergency situations, but harbor significant safety risks and operational considerations.  Harding Township, in conjuction with Jersey Central Power and Light, recommend you follow these safety tips on the use of your portable generator.

At August’s Township Committee Meeting, Sergeant Giansanti urged residents to take a few simple precautions to help safeguard their homes:

• Make your residence appear occupied when not at home.
• Leave multiple lights on timers that go on and off at different times.
• When away secure all doors and windows.
• If you have an alarm, set it.
• Advise your neighbors to retrieve your mail and newspapers.
• If comfortable, allow family members and neighbors to park their cars in your driveway.
• Advise HTPD to perform periodic house checks when away.
