The Broadband Alliance of Mendocino County held a public outreach meeting on Friday, November 2, 2017 to discuss the importance of communications during emergencies such as the recent Redwood Valley fire. You can listen to Reporter Sarah Reith's coverage of this meeting.
In addition to their community outreach efforts, the Alliance is documenting the scope of the telecommunications outages that occurred during the devastating firestorm in an effort to improve the services and infrastructure. Here is a link to that survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/firestorm2017
