Editorial Policy

We distinguish merchant claims from independently supported information, avoid fabricated firsthand experience, and prefer authoritative safety sources for health, electrical, food-safety and emergency guidance.

Updated: September 26, 2026

Source hierarchy

For health, food, water, generator and electrical-safety claims, GridReady Guide prefers government agencies, standards bodies, utilities, manufacturers' safety instructions and other primary technical sources. Secondary sources may provide context but should not override authoritative safety guidance.

Commercial independence

Affiliate links may generate revenue. Compensation does not establish that a product claim is true, and seller language is labeled or attributed when it cannot be independently verified. We avoid invented testimonials, fabricated testing and unsupported ratings.

AI-assisted production

AI tools may assist research organization, drafting, editing, coding or illustration. Published factual and safety-sensitive material is expected to be checked against cited sources, and generated visuals are explanatory rather than evidence of product ownership or testing.
