A permanent memorial eventually included 22 aluminum arks. Int its expected to be finished in the next few weeks. The state Public Utilities commission has formally opened an investigation into pg es power outages. The investigation will determine if the utility prioritized safety when it intentionally cut the power. The outages were meant to prevent its equipment from igniting wild fires in windy weather but Public Officials say the outages were poorly executed. When pg e shut off the towers cellphone towers caused life threatening situations for many people. Two investigates how many customers were left without service and how phone companies are responding. They may not mean much to the eye when driving by but they mean so much in staying connected to our busy world especially during critical crisis times. This is our county Emergency Operation center or eoc. Marin county fills out the forms and hit buttons to activate emergency alerts but when cellphone towers go down its an even harder task because Cellphone Companies dont have to say a word when they go down. In late october during a power shutoff 60 of towers went down leaving some people unable to call 911. Thats potentially a huge problem if somebodys got a medical issue, if a fire breaks out. It happened in paradise and butte county last year. Destroyed cell sites caused messages to be missed, delayed or lost. It was a wakeup call for regulators to fix weaknesses. We walk around with our phones so well always be connected in a crisis. Alongside peers at the federal communications. Sometimes he says its best to rely on old technology.

Records show in a single day in october some 700 cell sites in california werent working because of powerless cut. My preference would be id rather solve this before somebody else comes in this and solves it. Demanding a plan to keep Wireless Service up and running. Still in late october thousands were cut off. Unacceptable and they need to be held accountable. Right now state rules dont require back up power. Its something the independent arm of the california Public Utilities commission is trying to change. Program manager Anna Marie Johnson says even with backups carriers dont disclose how quickly theyll begin working. Their plan is to deploy assets where the hour, three ho three days away. Despite having advanced warning of a power shutoff. This map shows the percentage of cell sites out of service on a single day. Marin county had the most. 134 down due to power. Those plans werent followed. How do you explain that. Those plans were not sufficient. Federal regulators havent addressed the downed towers. Verizon said its network was not impacted. At t said it had short notice but utilized backup power solutions. Tmobile said it refuelled 260 sites and sprint planned to extensive roaming agreements to keep people connected. They have been very successful in the killing legislation to require them to do certain things, provide information and we are going to come down strong on a new approach and new strategy. Earlier this year, the Public Advocates office says the california Public Utilities commission to force telecomm companies to have immediate backups. Action must be immediate. We cannot wait and see what happens. And without regulation many fear the for profit Cellular Companies will again put lives at risk. I think expecting Cellphone Companies to do this on their own initiative is probably naive. I think they need to understand the public has low tolerance in a crisis for failure and thats going to result in calls for more legislation, more regulation and more oversight. Ktvu fox 2 news.
