From a natural hazards point of view, I think keeping the generators out of the basement is a good idea. Not so much for ocean rise due to global warming, but the possibility of a tsunami - like if that half of the island the East Atlantic (Azores??) breaks off.

Short term flooding from 10-year level rainstorms is enough reason to keep generators out of basements.

As are particularly nasty Nor'easters that arrive at high tide!
