Wednesday, Oct 11, 2-4 p.m., New Rochelle City Hall, 515 North Ave.

“We in Westchester want answers,” said Spano. “We want to know if Con Ed has the adequate infrastructure to deal with storms. We want to know if they have adequate personnel to respond. I urge

Westchester residents to contact the PSC with first-hand accounts of what happened to them during the storms of this summer.”

Specifically, the PSC is soliciting input on the following:

· How were you affected by the outages?

· Do you think you received timely, accurate and adequate information from Con Ed or otherwise about what was happening before, during and after the service outages?

· Did you attempt to contact the company for information or assistance immediately before, during or after the outages and did you get what you were requesting?

· What are your overall impressions about how Con Ed responded under all of the circumstances related to the outages and your reasons for those impressions?

· What are your recommendations about actions you believe Con Ed should or should not have taken before, during and after the outages?

· What actions do you recommend the commission take in light of all that you know about these events?
