WHO TO CONTACT FOR INFORMATION:
Only call 9-1-1 if you are experiencing a medical emergency (e.g., severe bleeding, chest pain, etc.), or to report a downed power line or tree which could create a public hazard.  (See below for instructions on how to contact 911 if your cell phone is not working).
 
Call 2-1-1 for non-emergency calls, including questions about medical devices, community resource center and charging center locations, and referrals to other social services.  2-1-1 should be your primary contact number. In addition, residents can text MARINSHUTOFF to 898-211 (or MARINAPAGON to 898-211 for Spanish speaking residents) to receive helpful information.
 
All questions regarding PSPS events and extended outages should be directed to PG&E via their website and 1-800-743-5000. Residents and businesses can access updated PSPS information from PG&E online at www.pge.com/pspsupdates and verify impacted addresses at www.pge.com/eventmaps. 
 
HOW TO CONTACT 9-1-1 IN AN EMERGENCY IF CELL PHONES DO NOT WORK:
During a power outage, cell towers may lose battery power after a long period of time.   
In the case of an emergency where your cell phone will not dial 9-1-1:

1. Traditional landline phones will still call 9-1-1.  However, VoIP internet phones will not work.
2. Mill Valley Police have a phone outside the front entrance with direct connection to emergency dispatch.
3. Find your closest local Public Safety Facility. If no one is at the first one you go to (might be on an emergency call, etc.), please try the next facility closest to you.  Marin-area public safety facilities are listed below.

AIR QUALITY TIPS :
Please be aware that wildfire containment and shifting winds can drastically change air quality in a short period of time. The most common symptoms are eye and throat irritation, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Persons with health problems, especially respiratory or heart conditions, should take extra caution. Follow these precautions to protect your health:

• Minimize outdoor activities 
• Stay indoors with windows and doors closed as much as possible
• Do not run fans that bring smoky outdoor air inside
• Run your air-conditioner only if it does not bring smoke in from the outdoors
• Consider leaving the area until smoke conditions improve if you experience symptoms related to smoke exposure 

When to Seek Medical Attention: 
Contact your health care provider if you experience the following symptoms that do not improve after moving indoors or into a safe air quality environment:

•  Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing 
•  Wheezing 
•  Chest tightness or pain

•  Palpitations
•  Nausea or unusual fatigue
•  Lightheadedness and/or feeling faint 

As always, if you or someone you know is experiencing an emergency, call 9- 1-1.
