01:02:02
so are you saying that the microgrids will be powering tier 1 areas, not tier 2 or 3?

01:03:42
I wrote down the website for weather, but when I just tried it, it doesn't look right. I wrote down pge.org/weather and a very generic website comes up with no reference to weather.

01:04:12
What do they think about home emergency generators being powered by natural gas that comes to the house? ( rather than gas or propane)

01:04:29
can you summarize what will be different than last year for people in Larkspur/Corte Madera?

01:05:51

Those who are not PG&E account holders can receive PSPS event notifications by ZIP Code. This is especially useful for tenants, caretakers, travelers, parents of school-age children and other non-account holders. The system allows you to select the ZIP Code(s) that you want to receive PSPS notifications for. Notifications are not address-specific as they are only based on the ZIP Code provided.Those who are interested in ZIP Code notifications can sign up for voice or text message alerts by calling 1-877-9000-PGE or texting “ENROLL” to 97633. More information about the tool is available athttps://www.pge.com/pspszipcodealerts

01:24:27
did you mean regular power in the malls or power via generators?

01:25:38
There are more environmentally/climate friendly and neighborhood considerate options than noisy polluting generators. There are now many home battery options from low cost for essentials like computers and cell phone charging to larger units in the range of $1,000 that can keep your refrigerator going and food safe and other essential through PSPS.

01:26:21
How do we find out when PGE is working in our neighborhood and will turn off power?

01:26:43
Tom, Can you recommend how to find these battery options…..

01:27:43
How can we access the chat and recording of today’s video after the presentation? Thank you.

can you share (in words) the results you get from the polls

01:41:23
but if you do need help, how do you crawl out of the rubble to get the sign in the window?

01:42:01
Thank you for these very informative sessions. Brenda Brown, Hidden Valley NRG

01:42:07
If no sign, the block captain should assume help may be needed.

01:42:14
