How often should station generators be run, according to policy?

Running station generators once a week is crucial for maintaining their reliability and ensuring they are in good working order for emergencies. This regular testing helps to identify any issues that may arise from inactivity, such as fuel degradation, mechanical failures, or battery deterioration. Additionally, weekly runs ensure that all systems remain functional and that personnel are familiar with operating procedures in case of an actual power outage. Regular maintenance and testing, as dictated by policy, are essential for effective response capabilities during emergencies, ensuring that the equipment is ready when needed.
