The San Clemente Patch reported recently that the City of San Clemente has approved a plan to waive hundreds of dollars in fees to entice mobile carriers to install backup generators. The move seeks
to insure that cell phone towers continue to operate in case of power outages like the one that affected a large area of Southern California recently.
”The city uses cell phones extensively, and many people don’t have land lines,” said San Clemente Councilman Jim Dahl. According to the Patch article many service providers use only batteries, with a few hours of life, to back up cell antennas during a power outage or emergency.
The failure of cell phone service during a power outage presents a major problem for police, fire and other emergency responders who utilize cell phones to coordinate their response efforts during such events. Cell phone outage can result in far more than just a major inconvenience for the general public.
South Coast Answering Service and it’s sister ship, Central Communications Answering Service, have long recognized the critical importance of maintaining the lines of communication during power outages. A telephone outage of several hours can have equally devastating affect on many businesses.
