[EAS] In The Dark

[Bill Ruck]

Since most of Sonoma County has been evacuated sending something to a 
home POTS land line will not get answered.  Likely the answering machine 
won't work since there is no power.

VoIP works until the battery dies.  A couple of hours if you are lucky 
and Marin hasn't had power since Sunday morning.

Progress?
