I do feel that pg e is acting cautiously and in good faith and helping out this neighborhood. Online and nextdoor, people are frustrated. Many received alerts that power would shut off tuesday morning. Instead, it shut off monday night. One post reads, sitting in the dark, 10 00 p. M. One hour ago we received a voicemail that power will go out tuesday in the morning. Plan ahead. How can you plan ahead with faulty notice . Another answers, the question here is how badly pg e miscommunicated the last minute ps ps. I do believe that communication could be stronger and better. I will be honest, my office is also, you know, at times feeling a little frustrated. Pg e says they mistakenly sent notices saying they would not be part of the blackout when in fact, they did lose power. That message should never have gone out.
