Summary
This report (all information was gathered between July 2022 and March 2023) focuses on the historical record of power outages in Marin, the risks that the county faces going forward, and the steps that can be taken by individuals, communities, and the county to mitigate power outages in Marin. Specifically, this report is proposing that Marin County start to plan for alternative local sources of power, ideally “green,” and especially microgrids. Resilience will provide residents both private and public opportunities for power during heat waves, storms, earthquakes and other climate and natural catastrophes. Resilience will also augment existing emergency services.
