The County is trying to get a sense of economic impacts to businesses and other organizations due to outage. Anyone with impacts is encouraged to fill out the online survey located at www.sanjuandem.net/outage.

There is no promise of outside help from State or Federal government at this time, but gathering this data is the first step towards gauging the impact and possibly requesting support.
