Summary of Request

On October 26, 2019, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) de-energized the power to all of Mendocino County resulting in all 90,000 residents being without power for 4 days or more.  PG&E began the line inspections for re-energization on October 30 and stated that it will take up to 48 hours to restore power county-wide.  The extended outage has created a local emergency in Mendocino County.  On October 30, 2019, the Mendocino County Chief Executive Officer/Director of Emergency services proclaimed, by delegation, that a state of emergency exists. Pursuant to Mendocino County Code Section 7.04.090(3), the Board of Supervisors shall review, at its regularly scheduled meeting, the need for continuing the local emergency.
