For merchants selling generators
No price gouging while an emergency lasts.
When an emergency is declared in a state you ship to, record it, the categories it covers and your prices just before. For California, Stormcap applies the state rule: no more than 10% over the pre-emergency price, or 50% over cost for goods not offered before, for 30 days unless extended. Real cost rises can be logged with proof and passed on at cost. Prices over the limit are flagged. Other states' rules are yours to enter and stay marked unchecked until you confirm them. Not legal advice.
