[EAS] No Power

[Adrienne Abbott]

Planned outages are being postponed until this evening for many areas that
were scheduled to go dark at noon today. Fortunately, many Bay Area
residents are somewhat ready, armed with flashlights, batteries, emergency
kits and radios because there's such an emphasis on earthquake readiness in
the communities. This might be a hopefully harmless exercise in disaster
preparedness for most families. Daughter has the disaster kit, w/radio and
batteries, papers, barbeque, generator, food, dog crate and dog all set to
go. 

Does anyone know what the broadcasters are doing? Have the stations moved to
the Sutro Tower facilities? Is anyone going wall-to-wall once the power to
SF/Oakland/San Jose is cut? Will they stream to the Internet? 

Any guesses on how long the Internet/cell service will last? Wanna start a
pool?  

And do you think that CalEMA might rethink their decision to eliminate Ham
radio from emergency ops after the outages?
