**Interview with PG&E Communications Director, Sarah Johnson**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Sarah. We’re here discussing the recent power outage affecting around 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission Bay. Can you tell us what led to this unexpected outage?
**Sarah Johnson:** Thank you for having me. Unfortunately, the specifics of what caused the outage are still under investigation. Our teams are working diligently to identify the issue, but we can assure the residents that we’re doing everything we can to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
**Interviewer:** That’s certainly worrying for the residents. PG&E stated you aim to have power restored by 6 PM. How is that timeline looking now?
**Sarah Johnson:** We are hoping to meet that timeline, but it will depend on the extent of the damage and how quickly our teams can address the problem. Safety is our top priority, so we will keep the community updated as we make progress.
**Interviewer:** There hasn’t been much communication on the cause. Why is that?
**Sarah Johnson:** We understand the community’s frustration, and we’re committed to transparency. However, initial assessments can take time, and jumping to conclusions may lead to misinformation. Once we have a clearer picture, we will communicate those findings to the public.
**Interviewer:** Besides this immediate situation, San Francisco has a lot happening politically, including the upcoming vote on Proposition K affecting the Great Highway. How does PG&E engage with local issues like this?
**Sarah Johnson:** We actively participate in local discussions and engage with community leaders. We understand that infrastructure impacts broader issues, such as transportation and urban planning. Collaboration is key, and we strive to be a responsible partner in the community.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Sarah. We appreciate your insights and hope the power is restored soon for the residents.
**Sarah Johnson:** Thank you for having me. I appreciate the opportunity to share this information. We are dedicated to restoring power and keeping the lines of communication open with the community.
