Withdraw that level of earthquake. Were designing for an 8. 0 and thats not what happened in japan in 2011. The earthquake that hit japan in 2011 was not what they were designing for and all the assumptions went out the window so thats food for thought. Thank you. Mr. Angelus. At Verizon Wireless we try to do it day in and day out to avoid interruption in services. We try to put all this in place but in the event they do happen, we have those redundant systems i discussed earlier. Weak route traffic from one side to another or from one switch to another and we test regularly to make sure they occur. And this is transparent to our customers. Calls are being routed to another switch during these cross over tests. We have actually fleet of portable cell sites, these are cells that are on trucks or in trailers that are deployed, that actually are available within a market so we can deploy them in the cases of emergency so if the cet site actually goes out of service, we can deploy a septem
Other lifeline providers and how systems should perform in an earthquake . Ill go ahead and talk about pg e. I would say first off weve designed our own standards for what should happen in an earthquake or any other major emergency. Our electric system is designed to worry about trees and wind and rain, which is what we see the most of, and tends to be the most damaging, but we have our own standards and our own expectations in terms of what our system should be able to withstand. Add david pointed out, the risk is that an event will occur that is greater than what you have prepared for. Thats always a possibility. In terms of working with others i think the important part is to make sure you understand what everyone is relying on you for. So it really comes back it an issue of priorities. Whats going to come back first, whats going to come back second. For pg e we always worry about bringing electrical generation back, those are done in conjunction with our gas and electric together.
Have an event that takes our services out or is greater than what were actually expecting and thats the challenge for all of us, all the service providers, is working together to figure out how to make that happen. Mr. Boland. This is where we fit into that link. We represent the utilities that protect and build the resill yepbs into the infrastructure. We fill a gap in attitude which is the relationships, distant and local relationships, cross boundaries between the multi disciplines in the utilities. We are able to cross those lines in the counties and step up to state operations so everybody is operating in a Common Operating Picture so everybody understands whats available not only in their jurisdiction, but what kind of resources we can bring to bear, short and longterm, how distant those are, what the qualifications are. We have master resource catalogs designed just like fire scope and cal fire in which we have built strike teams from our utilities, strike teams from water compa
Need cal fire, we need dwr, they are invested in restoring their Critical Infrastructure and its our responsibility to reach across those lines to get that kind of access to keep that kind of restoration underway. Thank you. Mr. Brig. In terms of establishing standards for resill yepbs, absolutely, we have done that. Again as i mentioned earlier, to get our customers to fund all these Capital Projects we did up a contract with them. This is what youre getting and this is what youre going to pay for. That had to be well defined as engineers need to know what to do and what to design for. Establishing those standards, what we call levels of service, theres levels of service for threats of terrorism and also the seismic one, which is essentially an 8. 0 event on the san andreas fault. Were working with other city departments so they know what to expect from us. Its been an education process. As we started down the road i think there was an expectation all water and sewer was going to be i
Happens in that moment that makes that history opposedded to the range of other things. King gives the i have a dream speech many times, and yet somehow we dont know about detroit or chicago, and so why do we understand the speech in that way . Thats opening things up in terms of expectations, to the expectations that i made my protest, and the world didnt change. I made the individual protest and the world didnt change opposed to i made a protest, and theres a range of things that happened, maybe it dont work the first time and we have to do it again. Well take one question, and then well wrap up and theres time for signing and more inform mall. Would king still be marching today . Absolutely. John louis is still out there being arrest, why wouldnt king . Yeah, i mean, there is regimely, when i do the events, theres always some desire to get you to talk for him. Like, what would he say about this . What would he say about this . Given everything we know about the trajectory, it would
