PG&E say it’s a great way to report non-emergency issues of concern; submit photos to our safety team; find submissions made by others; get notified when your submission is in review; and see PG&E’s findings. Please view this helpful 5-minute video. https://lnkd.in/gXiVxu6D. PG&E Report It app is NOT for emergencies. If you suspect an emergency that may threaten property and physical safety, such as the smell of natural gas, leave the area and call 9-1-1.  If you see downed powerlines, stay away. Don’t exit your car or home. Call 9-1-1. Then call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.

Staffers put up easels and posters on topics ranging from safely digging on one’s property to safer power grids. But in the lobby, residents whose homes overlook a big power station had their own easels and posters to protest PG&E’s local track record. Gary Batroff pointed to before-and-after photos of PG&E’s Alto substation on a bare hill above Hauke Park. He said the utility turned a green landscape into a barren one. “They cut down 130 trees in like two days,” Batroff said. “Some of them were redwoods, which are supposed to be protected.” Batroff pointed to another easel holding an illustration created by the utility five years ago showing what the substation’s landscaping was supposed to look like.

During the event, we will share the latest updates on local wildfire safety work and provide community resources available to keep customers safe. Additionally, we will discuss critical topics affecting the community such as: Land use and substation initiatives; Electric and natural gas projects; and Customer resources and savings. This is also an opportunity for participants to ask questions, share feedback and connect with their local PG&E leaders, including North Coast Region Vice President, Dave Canny.
