•The National Weather Service reports the fire weather threat has diminished despite continued dry conditions. Overnight temperatures continue to drop to the low 40’s. Residents still without power should follow cold weather safety tips, including: dress warmly and have several blankets on hand, stay indoors with doors and windows shut, keep pets indoors, and check on the safety of elderly and medically frail neighbors.

•PG&E reports power has been restored to over 70% of the County. The City is aware that some areas of Sonoma Valley remain without power.

•The PG&E community resource center at Hanna Boys Center (17000 Arnold Drive) is open for charging capability, WIFI, A/C and bottled water.

•The County of Sonoma has created a survey to learn more about your experience of the PG&E Power Shutoff. Their intent is to understand residents’ challenges and successes during this event, so the County can better prepare for the future.
