Great several Business Owners in mill valley gathered for a Community Workshop today on what to do if these planned shut ddos happen. We cant tell our clients, we dont have power, call you next week. Thats not an option. Reporter Dave Jeffreys is a Public Safety consultant. Hes been holding these meetings across marin county. We want them to have a plan to put into place like the plans the local Public Safety is creating so that their plan the day this occurs is not just call 911. Reporter parts of mill valley are considered to be in tier three, areas with the most extreme risk while power has not been shut off there yet, mill valley fire chief tom welch believes its almost inevitable it will happen.

Reporter without much guidance, no sense when or how long the outages could occur. Business owners have no choice but to come up with new ways to do their business. Rang up sells the old fashion way. Imprint instead of computer because its down. Well look into whether there is an affordable satellite, you know, provider out there and whether our building will allow us to put it up on the roof.
