I would like to thank the following PG&E employees for providing me information, acting as
subject matter experts, reviewers, and in some cases even editors on the original text entitled Responding to Utility Emergencies.
Special thanks must go to what I call my inner circle of advisors: Bill Hand, Mike Hildebrand,
Mel Abrew Dan Amour Mark Augustin Neil Fuller
Chris Gonzales Dawn Griesman Larry Hamon Joyce Macdonald
Mike Mann Paul Morris Greg Parker Jim Patchen
and Greg Noll. They are there whenever I have a technical question, idea and want to bounce it off them. Friends like this are hard to find. I have to specially acknowledge the support of Bill Hand during this particular project. He was always there with a practical approach to solving what ever problem I had.
This project has also been a family project with my two sons helping me constantly. Michael is
the oldest and possesses a good command of the English language. His proofing of the early doc- uments made everyone’s life easier. Matthew has my conceptual gene and worked diligently on the PowerPoint programs. I am proud of both of them. I just may not say it enough. Finally, my wife Bonnie who is the command center of any Callan activity. She can manage any project effectively. Had she stayed in the Army she would be a general by now. I am sure of that. Her tireless encour- agement and support makes these projects worthwhile.
THIRD PARTY REVIEW
I have been associated with the fire service and fire service training for almost 30 years.
