With the arrival of frigid temperatures, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency is advising residents to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. It is crucial for individuals to remember that using generators, grills, camp stoves, or any other combustion devices indoors—whether in homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, or any confined areas—poses significant risks.
Additionally, those who rely on electricity for medical equipment are strongly encouraged to have a contingency plan in place. This includes securing alternative power sources for essential devices or identifying a safe location to relocate to in the event of a power failure. Taking these steps can help mitigate potential dangers during this cold spell.
