TiPS Episode 25 1201 - All I want for Xmas is a Generator

Listen Later

🎄 All I Want for Christmas is a Generator

This episode dives into one of the most under-appreciated pillars of NG911: power resilience.

From generators that “worked fine last year” to UPS batteries that lie to your face, to microgrids that could keep ECCs online during week-long outages — Fletch breaks down what really keeps emergency communications alive when the grid goes dark.

We cover:

  • Generator myths and ugly truths
  • Why UPS batteries fail silently
  • Microgrid and solar-battery options for ECCs
  • EMP myths vs reality
  • Natural gas vs diesel vs battery for long outages
  • The Christmas Generator Checklist every ECC needs

    • If you rely on NG911, IP call handling, or anything more modern than two empty soup cans connected by string… this episode is for you.
