Good morning Supervisors,
Attached is AT&T's latest public statement regarding Northern California fires,
The fire situation across the Northern California region remains dire, with Cal Fire reporting 19 active fires that have
burned over 190,000 acres, AT&T has repair crews working around the clock, and has deployed its Network Disaster
Recovery teams.
As a result of these efforts, more than 99% of AT&T service is back up across the region.With Red Flag Warnings and the
possibility of anew wildfires, some areas are still either inaccessible or too dangerous to approach (including certain areas
to the north of Santa Rosa).We have deployed mobile cell sites in areas where cell sites have burned or are inaccessible,
including in Yountvill�e, Calistoga, and part of Santa Rosa,
With the help of AT&T's teams and specialized equipment, including satellite links and mobile cell sites mounted on
trucks, impacted communities and first responders have access to voice calls, texting, and wireless internet.
AT&T Community Response Teams are at the following shelters today with wifi, charging solutions, phones for use,
account support, live news via DirecTV Now, snacks/water:
Napa- Napa Valley College, 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy

• Yuba City:Yuba Sutter Fairgrounds, 442 Franklin Ave
Free AT&T PREPAID phones are also available for landline customers without wireless service, available at the above
!shelter locations or at AT&T retail locations. See tjt%./
inside connecVons bi pqtjNf ia fires for details,
As the wildfires still burn, we continue to evaluate opportunities to deploy additional equipment where it is needed and
once it's safe to do so.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact ire!
