The California Public Utilities Commission has ordered electric
utility companies to provide advance notification of rolling
blackouts. In the past some utilities have declined to provide
advance notice before blackouts, citing security concerns such
as the possibility of looting and rioting. The City of San Francisco
complained the lack of notice hampered its ability mobolize
police and medical workers.
No mention how the utilities will actually accomplish this
advance notification.
