The recent Excel widespread power outage

First, I understand Excel was trying to solve climate change, and wildfire issues. Thank you! Safety first! However, please do a better job of 1) targeting specific high-risk neighborhoods, and 2) warning people that this could be coming, send alerts, monitor the weather closer. "Say what you are going to say, say it, and then say it again!"

Our building was without power yet businesses across the street had power!

Please invest in putting power lines underground! Yes this will take capital to do so.

I own an 8-person business in Lakewood, Colorado and the 4-day power shut-down hurt our business. It was unexpected! Excel did a poor/nonexistent job commuting ahead of time with the Denver metro area. No or poor communication was shocking and disruptive not only to our business, but there are two Pain clinics and a Neurosurgery surgery clinic in our building. These practices have fragile patients and some needed to be carried down the stairs on gurneys.

The shut-down happened in the run-up to our online seminar; this would have been disastrous! We also had to pay employees for four days on not working including an employee who was leaving our company so they could not help transition the team.

Bottom line: forecast, communicate, target high-risk areas. Thank you for power and taking feedback!
