Preparedness is Better Together
When we talk about “surviving” the elements here in Salt Lake City, we often think in isolation. We think about our food storage, our winter gear, and our generator. But if you look back at the major events of the last few years—like the fierce canyon winds that toppled trees along the Weber River, the heavy snowstorms that strained the Rocky Mountain Power grid, or the recent tremors that reminded us all of our seismic reality—you’ll remember that the defining moments weren’t solitary.
They were communal. It was checking on the elderly neighbor across the street when the temperature dropped below freezing. It was sharing a hot pot of coffee with the family whose power line was down due to high winds. It was helping clear debris from a shared driveway after a storm. At Generator Supercenter of Salt Lake City, we believe that The Standby Power People aren’t just people who own generators. They are the people who keep the community calm when the lights go out.
Introducing the Community Survival Guide
To support this mission, we are proud to launch the 2026 Community Survival Guide.
This isn’t just a brochure about engine specs. It is a practical, field-tested workbook designed to keep your household—and your block—safe and organized. Inside, you will find:
The “Calm Corner” Plan: Strategies for keeping kids and pets safe (and distracted) during scary weather or aftershocks.
The Neighbor Check-In Sheet: A template for organizing contact info for elderly or vulnerable neighbors who may need help during a prolonged outage.
The Power Priority Chart: A guide to managing your home’s energy load so you can share resources (like charging phones) with others.
Be the “Standby House” on Your Block
If you have a Generac installed, your home is different. When the grid fails, your home becomes a beacon. We call this being “The Standby House.”
It means your doors stay open. It means you are the place where a neighbor can come to nebulize their asthma medication or simply warm up when the furnace isn’t running next door. The Community Survival Guide helps you organize that role, providing safety tips for hosting and sharing your power responsibly.
