Another thing I just thought of...how many times does a power company need to communicate to first responders about shutting down power? It goes the other way a lot - first responders asking for power to be cut because of a fire or an accident or something. So I bet they have lots of policy and procedures around that, but going the other way, I wonder if they just don't have it all written down yet.

But IMO, monopoly utilities, and especially their regulators, have a responsibility to figure more of this stuff out beforehand. People can't say "I'm not happy with how you handled this, so I'm switching to your competitor", and that necessitates a higher level of scrutiny and responsibility.
