According to PG&E’s Public Safety Shutoff plan, PG&E will notify affected communities and first responders 48 hours in advance of the power shutoff when possible. When the City of San Rafael receives notification of a planned power shut down event, the City will work with the Marin County Office of Emergency Services to send out an alert through Alert Marin and Nixle. City employees will also receive information updates by email. PG&E has also created a public website with a 7 day forecast of outage potential, based on predicted weather.
