PG&E Inspections Begin In San Anselmo; Another Shutoff Possible
Another Public Safety Power Shutoff could hit Marin County Tuesday morning.
SAN ANSELMO-FAIRFAX, CA — PG&E began inspecting equipment Monday morning to restore power to San Anselmo and Fairfax, but the County of Marin was advised another Public Safety Power Shutoff could hit the region early Tuesday morning.
"While we are hopeful that power will be restored in Marin County as soon as possible, the process of inspecting power lines and fixing any damage from the wind before re-energization takes time," county spokeswoman Laine Hendricks said.
We know everyone is eager to learn when power will be restored. We are, too. As we confirm details, we'll share those with you. In the meantime, updated lists of available resources can be found at https://t.co/uMbRmXKWUN. #MarinCounty #MarinPSPS #PSPS

County officials encouraged people whose power is restored between shutoff events to charge any medical equipment, phones and other electronic devices and to also restock emergency kits.
"While PG&E is working to restore power from the previous outage, some PG&E customers may remain out of power through the duration of this next potential Public Safety Power Shutoff," Hendricks said.
