I just listened to a talk on disaster preparations. Of course we had the big earthquake in Japan, and they say Alaska is due for another big one. I'd like the option of staying open to treat people. I am planning to buy a gas electric generator so I can at least keep the lights and computers running and keep seeing patients if desired. Has anyone else done this?
We lose power all the time. I used to have a propane generator but that was good for 24 hrs at the most even with a 100 lb tank. Now I have a Northern Lights 8 KW Diesel generator plumbed into the home heating oil tank which I keep fairly full. That would give nearly a month of heat and essential power in moderate cold. Then there is solar, which can do a lot in many areas. The office piggybacks off the hospital system.
