Phone and did a brief of what e knew was going on because of the weather. Should it have been a much warmer day, not having power that would be an impact. We had different departments briefing including pg e about the cause and then what different departments were doing and then we identified actually a lot of it was d. P. H. , what are the medical concerns that we had and what would the next steps be if we did not have a quick restoration. So, we rapidly pulled all of the hospitals in the effected area to find out who was effected and on generator . They all were. Who was not effected . Interestingly, despite being in the middle of the power outage area, several hospitals were not effected at all. We also now know that Health Changes though and so they were out patient clinics that had elective procedures going on but their generators were working. We checked to make sure that important resources like vaccines that must be refrigerated were being safely managed in a Rapid Response man
For those people that might need it, just want to clarify when you say this is not shelters with Homeless Population or people might just slip in, right . I want to reframe your question to make sure i understand. The question is, if we open a shelter, will it also include members of mr. Madrid no. My question was, i just want to make sure that when the shelter is open, or opened up, its not homeless shelters. Its just specifically for those people that need to be in there, right .

They may already go and use or go to the locations where theyre already familiar, but they may come to any shelter in the city, if they need assistance. Mr. Madrid the reason i ask is that as you mentioned before, those places are accessible

And i my personal opinion about pg es efforts to get information out is i havent known them to be particularly robust and so im wondering who is monitoring pg es approach to this . Is that your responsibility . How do we make sure theyre going to accomplish what they claim theyre going to accomplish in a comprehensive way . Our responsibility and ill speak for the larger Emergency Management Community Working with all of our partners. Working with nicole. So when the California Public Utilities Commission is doing their rulemaking process, we have made explicit requests that theyre going to be notifying individuals on their data bases, although as jan mentioned there are limitations to that.

Using fuel for back up generation, i just want to and San Francisco wanting to be a green city, i want us to try and be more proactive in terms of thinking about how we want to power our back up generators. Thats just a mini comment. So the other i have two mini questions. One is with the power outage that happened today, i did get the text which was great. It looked like it lasted about an hour. How do you think that went . Do you think there was total uproar or do you think you were prepared when Something Like that happens . I felt the response today went quite well from when the one of the first notices happened in tandem we got a call from our pg e representative direct low to our center saying i want to let you know, this power outage is happening around that same time, our dispatch center got notice.
