ABC10 search all of the Yuba County social media sites but was unable to find information about a PG&E Customer Response Center. However, County officials have established a website to post updates and tips during the power shut off. 

On the site, the County said that it is working to "establish additional medical and cooling centers beyond the Alcouffe Center. These centers will be opened only as power is shut off and are intended for those who are medically fragile or have power-related medical needs."

The County also noted that the multi-purpose area of Wheatland High School and the Alynn Scott Youth Community Center in Marysville may open to residents. Check here for updates.
