Emergency Power Sources, Chargers & Related Tools: Generators for Emergency Power Supply - now that makes sense. But Why are Gas & Water Shut off Tools on this page? We have listed the water and gas shut off tools here to remind out customers of important emergency power generator safety - turn off all the gas sources and electricity normally connected at your home or work before you power up your emergency generator for electricity. You don't want the gas or electricity from normal municipal sources to come on without your knowledge while running on your emergency back up power - this could cause some unpleasant surprises! Also - change your fuel storage for these generators regularly. Yes, gasoline goes bad - cycle out your can cans or other fuel storage every three to six months so you know your fuel for emergency power is fresh and ready when you need it.
