Sacramento, CA – Californians left in the dark during power shutoffs or who face oncoming firestorms have their lives put at risk when their cell phones, cable, and landlines go down.
Last year, as the Kincade Fire burned in Sonoma County forcing the largest evacuation in the county’s history during one of the biggest Public Safety Power Shutoffs in California history, hundreds of cell towers residents have come to rely on went dark. This left hundreds of thousands of Californians in harm’s way without their cell phone during a disaster.
