PresentationDiscussion

A county communications official (speaker 1) described repeated planned power shutoffs by utilities that have disabled local relay sites (Frisco Peak) for hours, disrupted emergency alerts and broadcast relays (including Utah Public Radio), and stressed that buried power lines and generator maintenance complicate restoration timelines. He urged better utility coordination with county emergency management (George Colson, Cassie Meredith) and the BLM to avoid placing commercial transmitters on county-built sites.
