Wow, what a power outage! SDG&E customers (all 1.5 million of us) were without power yesterday for 10-12 hours. I am very impressed with how quickly they got us all back online but of course there are food and water safety concerns following any kind of prolonged outage such as this one.
Therefore Dining Services' restaurants (and the UC San Diego campus) are shut down today.
Essential personnel are busy working to restore the campus to full function and things are looking pretty good from what I can tell.
This power outage was a really good reminder to have emergency supplies at home, work and even in your car. Do you have an emergency kit in case of disaster?
Check out the CDC's recommendations for emergency kit supplies at http://emergency.cdc.gov/preparedness/kit/disasters/
Be safe and remember to feel grateful when you flick a switch and the light turns on, when you use the loo and the toilet flushes, when you sit on your comfy couch and watch football (or reality tv, whatever you're into), etc., etc. We are fortunate in this country to have the best of modern conveniences and luxury!
