Generator Safety Generators can be lifesavers—but only if used safely: Use Outside Only: Keep 20+ feet from windows and doors to avoid carbon monoxide. Keep Dry: Use on a dry surface under an open canopy—never in rain or wet areas. Refuel Carefully: Turn off and cool completely before adding fuel. Plug In Safely: Use outdoor-rated cords or a transfer switch. NEVER PLUG INTO A WALL OUTLET.
Stay safe. Follow these tips to use your generator responsibly during and after the storm.
Bridge Closures in Daytona Beach When sustained winds reach 39 mph, all bridges crossing the Halifax River in Daytona Beach are closed for safety. Bridges will remain closed until after the storm has passed and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has completed inspections to confirm they are structurally safe to reopen. Westbound traffic from the beachside to the mainland may be permitted before eastbound lanes reopen; however, access back to the beachside may be restricted if mandatory evacuations are still in effect or if emergency response operations are ongoing.
Do not attempt to cross closed bridges or remove barricades—this is extremely dangerous.
