On September 22, 2019, PG&E issued notifications that forecasted weather conditions would likely result in the need for power to be shut off in areas across the North Bay including Sonoma County. This would be the first of six such notifications that Sonoma County would receive creating a need for government to respond to over the coming weeks.  As a result of the planning and proactive response to the series of power shutoffs, Sonoma County was postured well for an overall effective emergency response to a novel response environment.
