January 16, 2001 To: The Campus Community From: The Public Affairs Office Re: Stage 3 Power Emergency The California ISO (Independent System Operator) has issued a STAGE THREE EMERGENCY ALERT for today (Tuesday, January 16). This means that rolling blackouts may occur later today in parts of California. To help prevent this from happening, everyone on campus should do everything they can to reduce electrical usage. All portable space heaters and unused equipment and unnecessary lights should be turned off immediately. Thermostats operating electrical heating systems (especially trailers) should be set to 68 degrees or lower. If we all work together we may be able to keep needed lights on and our computers operating. According to the ISO, the Stage 3 alert will remain in effect until midnight tonight. For your information, here is the California ISO System Conditions web site: http://www.caiso.com/SystemStatus.html Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
