I imagine people would like PG&E to have a functioning website that shows where power is going to be turned off, to have a more predictable warning system so people can have more than a few hours notice of impending blackouts, to have better managed community centers so people can access essential resources during blackouts, etc. This is relatively basic stuff that a large corporation should be able to figure out with a ~year of notice. Instead there first few blackouts have been very poorly managed despite the fact that PG&E knew this was coming.

> more than a few hours notice of impending blackouts I'm not sure if weather is predicable enough to do this in the micro sense. Obviously, warning that Sept-Nov might have blackouts is easy.

  Hmm, but we know weather like two weeks in advance We understand it isn't an exact and perfect prediction for the state of things half a month from now, but it's better than nothing. "your area is at risk of blackouts next week - 60%" is better than nothin'
