I applaud these efforts by PSE to help our communities be more resilient after disasters like storms and earthquakes.

However, community generators will serve a small percentage of the population after a large earthquake that is very possible in coming decades.  PSE could do more to make sure we have a resilient power grid.

Cities like San Francisco are modernizing their power grids by incorporating solar panels and batteries.  These will provide power even if long power lines connected to distant power stations fail.  This is the "next step" in grid technology that is being designed for Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria destroyed their poles and wires.

Bellevue should be innovating and planning for power grid resilience to save lives.
