Request from Marin County Fire Dept. re PGE Power Shutoffs

MCFD asks everyone, and especially anyone who needs power for medical reasons, to please contact PG&E now to make sure they have your contact info. Per PG&E:  “If you are a Medical Baseline customer, please know that we will make every effort to notify you of a shutoff before it occurs: Outreach will be done through automated calls, texts and emails. If we don't speak to you or a family member directly, or receive confirmation of the email or text we send, we will follow up with a phone call. If a phone call is not successful, we will attempt to notify you in person at your address.” For more information, call 1-800-743-5000.
