We often create a problem while working on solving another problem. This must be how learning occurs. Education by carbon monoxide poisoning is a hard lesson.
Be careful with alternate power, heating and cooking systems. Hurricanes, tornadoes, wind & ice storms, snow storms, blizzards, earthquakes and wild fires equal power outages. This is when staying warm can be dangerous.
Have a plan; communicate the plan before you have to use it. Check the batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms; have extras. Have a CO alarm in your car if you are going to be sitting in it to stay warm or when traveling.
Follow and respect the rules, guidelines and recommendations of the community personnel responsible for emergency situation preparedness, response and guidance. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Note this distraction from carbon monoxide poisoning:
Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport, Iowa.
A friend of mine notified me that the pair of bald eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing of the nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. UPDATE: Two eggs in the nest. The Alcoa Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you may have those periodic spare moments. This link will be posted on this site for those people who may wish to capture the link and watch the cycle of life of this nesting pair.
What does this have to do with carbon monoxide safety?
It is just a live web cam, perhaps a distraction from the headlines of death and injury. Please become aware of the air you breathe. Measurement is education. Measure your air accurately when measuring carbon monoxide. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
