Climate change, energy independence, and emergency preparedness are on the agenda Tuesday for a joint meeting of the Hood River City Council and County Commission.  County Commission Chair Mike Oates says they will discuss a wide range of topics, including the County’s energy plan, energy resilience, emergency planning, and Pacific Power will update their PSPS plans.  PSPS stands for public safety power shut-offs, which Pacific Power has proposed using during times of extreme fire danger.  They are now in use by a number of privately-held utilities in California, where Pacific Gas & Electric was the subject of numerous lawsuits after some of its equipment was found to have caused major wildfires in that state.  Tuesday’s meeting will be held online at 4:45 p.m.  For information on how to observe it go to cityofhoodriver.gov.
