Most homes have copper phone wiring, which does not require electricity. @PGE4Me @ATT how about cutting a deal to "turn on" service during future #pgeshutoff situations, or emergencies? So people in affected areas can receive autodialed emergency info, call relatives, etc?
Trimline phones are $12 retail, so guessing it's <$5 to issue a landline phone that doesn't need power, for customers in high-risk areas.
Wondering if @californiapuc will revisit their decision to permit @ATT @Verizon deactivation of residential copper warm lines, if consumer switches to VoIP/cellular service for their home. Presumably all parties share concern on inability to call 911 during power outages...
