“I want to thank Susan Seaman and AEDC for their work in organizing these supplies.” Mayor Garnes stated. “It was about this time last year that Susan and I teamed up for a little PSA about the looming Public Safety Power Shut‐off (PSPS) situation. A lot of people were completely unaware of that threat; thought that it would never happen or that they could just turn on the Humboldt Bay Power Plant and everything would be fine. That ended up hitting our communities hard, and now COVID‐19 poses yet another unprecedented threat. It’s looking more and more like a long‐term threat.”
