VIDEO. Around 100 people showed up, but we know that a lot more people want to hear from these people regarding power and connectivity outages. Thanks to Senator Jerry Hill for organizing. Watch for yourself. You will learn a lot about how power, communications and agencies work on the coast.

From the City of HMB:

We all remember the massive traffic problems on March 12, when a power failure closed the Lantos/Devil’s Slide tunnel and Highway 1, diverting traffic to Highway 92. At the same time, scheduled tree trimming work required the closure of one lane of 92. This combination of circumstances caused major traffic headaches for countless coastside motorists – and it could have been mitigated or avoided with better communication among the agencies involved.

Now, the community is invited to join Senator Jerry Hill and Assembly Members Mark Berman and Kevin Mullin for a panel discussion with utilities and key agencies about what it will take to keep the coastside connected and resilient, even in emergencies.

Todos recordamos los enormes problemas que tuvimos con el tráfico el 12 de marzo, cuando un apagón eléctrico ocasionó el cierre del túnel Lantos/Devil’s Slide y la carretera 1, lo que causó que el tráfico se desviara a la carretera 92. Ya que al mismo tiempo se habían programado trabajos de poda de árboles, fue necesario cerrar un carril de la 92, así que esta combinación de circunstancias causó grandes dolores de cabeza para muchísimos automovilistas de la costa, y el problema podría haberse mitigado o evitado con una mejor comunicación entre las dependencias involucradas.

Ahora invitamos a la comunidad a participar en un panel de diálogo que el senador Jerry Hill y Mark Berman y Kevin Mullin, miembros de la asamblea, tendrán con empresas de servicios públicos y dependencias clave, al respecto de lo que se necesita para mantener

la costa conectada y fuerte, incluso en casos de emergencia.
