Portable generators are a common resource for power after a storm. They also produce a tremendous amount of carbon monoxide (CO)- a deadly gas that cannot be seen or smelled. Please make sure you have working CO alarms if you're using a portable generator for power.

Recent storms & tornadoes in the central U.S. are a good reminder that getting prepared means more than having food, water & shelter—it also includes #FinancialPrep.

Start setting aside money for a rainy day & check your insurance coverage: https://t.co/tA6q3IubTj
