Dominion Power Shared these tips for operating generators:

• Follow safe operating procedures for generators. Never operate one inside your home or in an enclosed space, such as a garage.
• Do not connect portable generators directly to the electrical system of your home. Electricity could flow backward onto Dominion's power lines and endanger lives. Either have a qualified electrician perform the work or plug appliances directly into the generator using the proper-sized extension cords.
• If using portable or camp-type stoves or lanterns for cooking and lighting, ensure the area is adequately ventilated.
• Visually inspect the area around your electricity meter. If you detect or suspect any damage, call Dominion toll-free at 1-866-DOM-HELP (1-866-366-4357).
• Turn off major appliances such as heat pumps, water heaters and stoves. Unplug other appliances such as TVs, stereos, microwaves and computers. This will prevent damage to the appliance and possible overloads to the company's system when power is restored.
• Leave one lamp or light on so you will know when power is restored.
• Listen to your local radio station on your car or battery-powered radio for regular news and weather updates.
