They don't have any generators 'yet' You have to go down and register and prove your trade license fees are paid and insurance Then they'll put you on a list to visit the business and make an inspection Then they will decide if you qualify You could probably swim a generator from US faster than you'll get your emergency generator.

The businesses that lost walls and roofs that need power to run tools to rebuild get the short end of the stick while the hair dressers get first dibs. Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
