I think that under the emergency conditions, I'd hit the transfer switch and bring that generator on line now so that you can secure and protect your property, properly [if you can get the fuel]. I don't think anyone could object, given the conditions, as long as it's properly wired in. 'Permanent' installation can proceed at the bureaucratic snail's pace, whenever the 'crats get back to work. You might have to provide a chemical toilet for any guards. ;-) I doubt that you could re-occupy the facility at this time though.
